# Batt lap
From Gearloose
A solid tin alloy lap. Harder than "traditional" tin laps. More complex structure
Very flexible: **pre-polish** 3k/8k/14k, **polish** 50k+, some people even use it for **fine cut** 600/1200
**How-to**: http://www.battlap.com/battman.html
You can put two "tracks" on it of different grits, different radius.
There is a "professional/competition" harder version (different more expensive alloy) [[BA5T lap]].
See also [[Zinc Plus lap]] which has similar applications and probably faster or more aggressive for pre-polish.
