This high quality lap machine is manufactured with a 12 mm arbor and powered by a 185 W, heavy-duty, ball bearing, DC motor. This motor is variable speed so you can work at whatever pace you desire, delivering speeds from 800 rpm to 3,400 rpm. This portable machine can be used anywhere. Whether you’re at home, in the shop or on the road, this quiet machine won’t disturb others around you. It’s lightweight, rustproof and impact-resistant, making it even easier to travel with.
The coolant reservoir, which holds about 500 ml of water, prevents heat buildup while you work and removes dust particles so you don’t inhale any harsh chemicals. That pint of water will give you two to three straight hours of work without refilling. The black splash guard keeps water off you so you don’t get soaked while you work. Cleanup is as simple as it gets: Just remove the black spray shield, rinse with clean water and you’re ready to work again.
