There is a wide variety of glass and lapidary equipment available including flat laps suitable for working either glass or stone. Ranging from small, table-top models, to large floor models, we have a unit to suit every need. Consider these questions before purchasing a flat lap, grinder, arbor, late or polishing machine, or saw: How big are the pieces I’ll be working on? How much room do I have in my shop? What type of material will I be working on in this unit? Once you have answered these questions you can begin to shop for the right machine to suit your needs.

Covington’s Wet Belt Sanders are high-quality, multipurpose units. Available in a variety of sizes and compositions, there is something in this line of units for a range of purposes. Sanders can grind and polish small and large pieces of glass and stone. These units are also excellent for deburring, shaping, cleaning, sharpening, and smoothing workpieces. Every sander comes fitted with a 220g silicon carbide sanding belt. These versatile units are an excellent choice for beginners and professionals alike. Glass customers believe every coldworking shop should have a Covington Sander!

When deciding between wet belt sanders, it is important to know your work. If you are only ever working on small pieces such as jewelry then the small sander will probably suit your needs. However, for a little more you can purchase the Commercial Sander, which provides more usable workspace and longer belt life. It is important to remember the price of the consumables when pricing your purchase. The belts will add additional costs throughout the life of the unit. The advantage to the Deluxe Commercial Sander is the 1/2hp motor with a capacitor; this provides more than sufficient torque for working large pieces and pressing against the belt.
