Buehler has this handy little device;

www.buehler.com/productinfo/2004EBG/speciality_equipment.pdf

And it cost $2500, their 6 mount system is $4500

We have the setup for 6 and 9 mounts but there are times when I need or want
to do a single puck and my choice is do it by hand or make up 5 blanks to
keep balance on the 6 opening wheel.

Certainly Buehler is not the only one making that single mount setup?

Hi Franklin
30 plus years ago we had one of those devices and used it for printed wiring
boards.  However, I was told by Buehler and several others that this handy
little device should not be
used for printed wiring boards.  It was developed for hard metals and you
could have distortions if you used it to process smaller printed wiring
boards.

So, in my humble opinion, you have two choices.  Continue doing one mount at
a time by hand or perhaps purchase a smaller bench type version that has a
head that accomodate 3 - 6 mounts.
