BATT™ Faceting Lap

The product that started it all.

The BATT™ lap is the original standard in tin-alloy faceting laps. With more than 17,000 sold worldwide, it has proven itself in competition and professional production faceting for more than two decades.

Hand cast and made in the USA, each BATT™ lap is produced from a solid tin alloy and precision finished for excellent balance, flatness, and long-term stability.

Performance & Use

BATT™ is valued for its combination of polishing control, predictable charging, and exceptional versatility across a wide range of gemstones.

• 3,000–8,000 diamond provides an excellent prepolish after cutting with 600 grit
• A surface with enough “grab” to transition quickly into final polishing stages
• Outstanding results on materials ranging from fluorite through sapphire

For quartz and similar materials, charging with PANDIMONIUM® 50,000 diamond or finer—or using suitable oxide compounds with DARKSIDE™-style techniques—delivers a fast, controlled final polish with a minimal learning curve.

BATT™ remains a trusted, versatile metal lap for both gemstone prepolishing and final polishing.
