Our American-made All-U-Need is a flat lap machine that is one of the best on the market and has been for over 30 years. Grind, smooth and polish rocks and minerals to make free-form shapes and cabochons for necklaces, earrings, rings and other jewelry pieces. Create flats for larger pieces or on the backs of cabochons. It’s also well-suited for polishing a large variety of natural and synthetic gem material, enamels and metals. The All-U-Need is available in both 6″ and 8″ models and comes with an accessory kit specially designed for grinding, smoothing and polishing rocks and minerals. (If you plan on polishing glass and/or crystal, we suggest purchasing the All-U-Need glass/crystal model.)

The Hi-Tech Diamond All-U-Need lap machine is manufactured with a 1/2" arbor and powered by a 1/4 hp, 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 a pint 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.

Overall a very good product

The system is very easy to use and functional. I haven’t completed any projects yet but I would suggest buying an additional rougher diamond disk because if you’re like me and sometimes do not have the best of cuts this will save you a ton of time. Overall the product is easy to assemble, use and small enough to find a space in the shed for. I recommend!

Great machine! Great customer service!

I have had my lap grinder a couple weeks now and love it! Have used it on agates, pet wood, jasper and opal and it's worked great for all purposes. Have bought some additional grinding and smoothing wheels and am loving what I can do with this. Highly recommend this machine and the customer service was top notch when I contacted them.

I am thoroughly enjoying working with my new 8 inch flat lap sander. It is everything I wanted and takes up virtually no space in my tiny work area. The included discs vary enough in grit range to give high quality results.

Great buy!

This is a great flat lap machine. We bought the 6 inch unit and are very pleased with it. We have been using it to polish agates and are happy with the results. It's easy to set up and use. A great purchase.
