RODA Wood – Wooden Lapping Sticks – Mould Polishing

Wooden Lapping Sticks for polishing, finishing and lapping metals. Available in a variety of shapes & sizes. 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.

Made in our UK Factory to the highest standards.

Available in Hardwood and Softwood.

• Hardwood – Made from laminated hardwood. The layers are compressed together in parallel to their grain. This therefore creates strength and structural stability. Consequently hardwood bobs maintain their shape well. They are used for first stage polishing where high cut and stock removal is required.
• Softwood – These are used as carriers for finer diamond compounds for high-gloss polishing. The softwood is smooth and grit-less as a result you can ensure a perfect finish.

We also supply Felt Lapping Sticks for fine finishing.

Also available mounted on a 3mm spindle here.
