Machine Polishing Course (Introductory)
Our introduction to machine polishing for professionals course is ideal for those who have never needed to pick up a machine before, or have perhaps restricted themselves to entry level machines and are now looking to upgrade. Machines covered on these days will include DAS6-Pro+ / Rupes LHR 12ES “Duetto” / Rupes LHR 15/21 / Flex XFE, XCE, PXE and VRG
