Item Name: Covington Parts - Flat Lap - Brass Plug SKU: COVCBA044 Description: The Flat Lap Brass Plug is a threaded brass component with a 5/8"-11 thread specification, designed to fit into the center shaft of a flat lap grinding and polishing system. The plug is constructed from solid brass, which resists corrosion and provides a secure seal. This component is essential for controlling water flow through the water sleeve during flat lap operations. When installed, the plug blocks water from flowing through the shaft's center, allowing you to manage water circulation during different stages of your work. The ability to stop water flow is particularly important during polishing stages when you want to prevent water from interfering with the polishing compound and your work surface. How it is used: Install the Flat Lap Brass Plug by threading it into the center shaft opening of your flat lap system. During grinding operations, keep the plug removed so water flows freely through the water sleeve to cool the grinding surface and carry away debris. When you transition to polishing stages, thread the plug in securely to stopper the water flow. This prevents water from diluting your polishing compound and ensures consistent polishing results. The threaded design allows for easy installation and removal, making it simple to switch between grinding and polishing modes as needed during your lapidary work. Dimensions: 5/8"-11 Threaded
