ALUMINUM:

Several aluminum mount finishes are available:

  • Lathe: Our standard product, economically priced, made from an aluminum alloy that is specially selected for its machinability and which provides a relatively smooth surface. Excellent when a substrate is needed for use with carbon tapes and discs.

  • Luster: Our tumbled finish, giving a very smooth surface that can be used with or without tapes and paints.

  • Polished: Our high quality polished finished, down to 0.1um. Excellent for when needing a very smooth surface without tapes.

Available in a number of styles (cylindrical, pin mount, angled), sizes and diameters.
