Accessories/Options |
Platens are necessary to hold the samples for buffing. They are sold as accessories and should be selected based on anticipated testing needs. Platens are available in two different styles and two separate sizes for each style. Flat platens are designed for samples that will lay flat, and the rotary platens are designed for irregular samples that must be held down by wrapping them around a drum. All platens are equipped with a snap clamp for quick and easy installment
and removal of samples.
