[QUOTE="xcvator, post: 482201, member: 8322"] Just kicking ideas around and had a thought . What if I mounted a portable electric drill in a press stand like this [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/8322/1554545587_drill_press.jpg[/img] then set a flat base plate on the verticle drill with the grinding sheats mounted on the top surface of the master lap. Water bottle could be mounted on the side of the drill stand to supply a trickle charge of water to the grinding surfaces Some sort of simple/cheap spray guard could be fitted si it was a bit hire than the grinding/lapping disks So whadaya think, could this work as a portable lapping machine that I can carry around in my caravan [/QUOTE]
