What are the grooving arrangements on polishing pads?
2nd August 2016
Generally where sample size is 20cm2 / 2″ diameter or less we recommend that a plain pad or plate is used for processing. Where the samples are larger than these sizes grooves are required to allow lapping abrasive or polishing slurry to pass uniformly between the sample and the pad or plate.
Standard Logitech EP1 and EP2 pads are grooved 100mm square by 1mm wide.
