It is fast and efficient in providing high quality flat specimen surface thus saving time on the subsequent fine grinding and polishing steps. Specimen holders of up to 210 mm diameter having 10 specimens can be prepared in less than a minute with 350 mm diameter grinding stone. It can easily provide enough specimens for two or three grinding/polishing machines.
Uses the same sample holders with FORCIPLAN 352 Planar Grinder. Therefore, it can be combined with FORCIPOL 352 to increase sample throughput.
