Q
Any MPO jigs for the Proton?
A
Yes, we do offer MPO workholder jigs for the Proton polisher. They are available for both flat and angle polishing. Please note that Proton uses 2" diameter films and MT processing tends to wear these films fairly quickly. This is typically acceptable for low-volume or repair applications.
