Summary
Specialist who polishes the surface of prisms used in optical instruments with coarse tools to prepare them in a suitable state for precise finishing and inspection in subsequent processes.

They use polishing machines or grinders with coarse grinding stones to shape the surface and uniform the polishing marks. They ensure quality through repeated manual fine adjustments, machine settings, and inspections of shape and surface roughness, preparing for smooth finishing processing or coating in the next process. Work is performed in clean rooms or dedicated booths, complying with safety and hygiene regulations.
