UK-4: NEW POSSIBILITIES. I already told on the pages of “M-K” about his upgrades convenient desktop stanochek UK-4 “Skillful hands”. Today I want to share another device to it, allowing for sanding and polishing flat parts and, if necessary, to obtain from them a thin plate and even veneer. I use it for more than three years and are very happy. Recently I have improved a little, and now it is possible to grind the plate thickness of from 0.3 to 10 mm with a precision up to 0.05 mm.
