An optically-flat mirrored glass disk, wetted with an abrasive slurry, spins at 60 rpm, ( or 50 rpm , 240 V ), producing sharply bevelled tips on fluid-filled glass microelectrodes of one micron or smaller. This eases cell impalement and improves the electrode's linearity. The microelectrode's resistance can be monitored during bevelling with WPI's Omega-Tip megaohm meter . The beveller is permanently mounted on a precision magnetic plate that gives stable support for the optional 1350M Micropositioner shown. Start-up kit includes 0.05 µm alumina abrasive powder #3531, "O" ring, wick electrode, and wick support.

Micropositioner and magnetic stand not included.

The Model 1350M Micropositioner (shown with beveller above) includes WPI's M3301R Manipulator and an M10 magnetic stand. The stand-manipulator assembly mounts directly onto the beveller baseplate, allowing convenient positioning of electrodes onto the bevelling surface. With three axes of adjustment, including coarse and fine control in the axis of the electrode.
