The NEW Ameritool 12" HD Lap Grinder and Polishing Machine offers the best of both worlds. It's compact tabletop design allows for use in a smaller studio or workshop, yet allows for the maker to create even larger pieces than our 8" unit with less power. With the increased torque of 1/2 horsepower you can now grind and polish even heavier fused glass flatwork pieces, and edge even bigger bowls and lapidary stones.
