Paramount 4" x 1/2" Split Lap Wheel - Medium

This 4.5-inch Paramount split lap wheel is a medium-density felt tool used for precision flat-lapping of jewelry surfaces. The specialized split design allows the operator to see through the spinning wheel to monitor the progress of the metal finish. It is manufactured from 100.0% high-grade wool felt that is balanced for smooth operation at high speeds on a tapered spindle. The 0.5-inch thickness provides the necessary rigidity for leveling surfaces while holding polishing compounds effectively for a consistent result. This medium wheel is the standard starting point for removing surface imperfections before moving to a high-luster hard felt.
