    Hi, Folks: Seeking Info on Flat Lapping & Polishing

    Really love this forum. Thanks in advance for your help.

    My business has grown to a point where I'm needing to outsource some of my finish work to a high-quality lapping and polishing service. In a year or two we will likely be able to purchase a small lapping for our shop like the one picture below, from Lapmaster.

    I assume there is no way to build something like this myself. It seems pretty complicated, and I need something that can revolve at VERY low RPM, maybe below ten (10).

    Assuming that's the case, what sort of pricing do people get for these kinds of services. I make a guitar pick that is only about 1.0 mm thick and less that 1.50" inches across. I've outsource Blanchard grinding before, which was cheap (roughly $2.00 per unit) but I assume this kind of finish work is more expensive.

    Thanks again for your insights or suggestions.
