Description:

The Covington 8″ Standard Maxi Lap 110V is a powered lap-style grinding unit built to run 8 inch laps for flat grinding, shaping, and surface preparation during coldworking. This machine format gives you a stable, level working plane so you can true glass surfaces and refine edges with consistent contact across the lap. It is a practical choice when you want controlled, repeatable grinding results and the flexibility to change laps as you move from shaping to finer finishing steps.

How it is used:

In lampworking and glass fabrication, a maxi lap is used after the piece is fully cooled and annealed for coldworking operations such as flattening bases, cleaning up cut marks, refining edges, and preparing mating surfaces for assembly work. You bring the glass to the rotating lap with even pressure and keep the contact moving to maintain a uniform grind and reduce localized heat. This is the kind of tool you reach for when flatness, fit, and clean edge geometry matter before you move on to polishing.
