SimpliMet® 4000 Compression Mounting Press
SimpliMet 4000
Semi-Automatic Grinder-Polisher
The SimpliMet 4000 Compression Mounting press is a robust hot mounting machine, engineered to craft high quality mounts ranging from 1 to 1.5 in or 25 to 50mm for metric. This machine prioritizes user-friendliness and rapid cycle time to keep your process moving. Additionally, the Duplex spacer allows users to produce two mounts in a single cycle. Complement your machine with Buehler’s compression mounting media for unmatched results.
