Need a good web polishing wheel that turns in a horizontal plane.

Please recommend a good wet polishing wheel that turns in a horizontal plane.

My boss has asked me to find one and I have absolutely no experience in the area. I am polishing sectioned circuit boards to examine the middle of the solder joints. Not sure if that changes any decision making as I've already said, I have no experience here. What is a good outlet and model for me to purchase. Since I'm not sure what I need, maybe a more general purpose one would be the best to go with.

If it is helpful at all, the surface against this polishing wheel will be about 4 1/2 x 3/4 " in area.

As Always, Thanks for your input!

Lee Valley has a sharpening system that might do the trick.

He mentioned he wants something that wet-grinds. I have no idea what qualifications you need for your application but here is a wet grinder that I've seen

I ended up going with a SwapTop™ 6" Flat Lap Machine. I hope it is what we were needing :S.
