Easily made flat lap Options

[jim]

I saw this home made flat lap at the club the other day.Everything on it is easily obtained. It consists of a frame to hold a pan, a motor,and a box to mount it in. The motor is bolted right to the pan frame. Theres collets on the motor shaft that produces the vibration.The collets can be repositioned to increase or decrease the amount of vibration. The whole assembly is hung from springs to isolate it. As you can see the box is made out of scrap materials. Theres multiple pans of the same size that has different grits. I was quite impressed with the simple design. The guy that made it says it works great.
