[QUOTE="Mr Magoo, post: 345767, member: 3008"] Love that lap box! Yes, metric. My Copper lap is 5mm thick after being machined. I haven't seen anything that type of lap before. Interesting. But what concerns me is that the have delamination. Personally I'd be tempted to throw the corian section in the bin, not as a master, and clean up the back and use straight on the platen as Copper only. Re cleaning: I have read somewhere the nylon scrubbers contain an abrasive within the nylon that can contaminate a lap. But since these are cutting/prepolish laps that may not be an issue. I have used them before without problems. I now use stainless steel wool. Enjoy. :) [/QUOTE]
