Mounted Wooden Lapping Sticks on a 3mm Spindle. Popular with a wide range of industries, like precision engineering & mould tooling, because of their ability to achieve a smooth and even finish on flat surfaces.

Part of our RODA range.

Handmade in our UK Factory where we ensure the highest quality.

Available in Hardwood and Softwood.

• Hardwood – Made from laminated hardwood. The layers are compressed together in parallel to their grain for strength and structural stability. Hardwood sticks maintain their shape well. They are used for preliminary polishing where high cut and stock removal is required.
• Softwood – Used as carriers for finer diamond compounds for high-gloss polishing. The softwood selected is smooth and gritless to ensure a perfect finish.

We also supply Mounted Felt Lapping Sticks for fine finishing.
