A method of producing a carrier for use in a double-side polishing apparatus, the method including engaging an insert with a holding hole formed in a carrier body and sticking the insert to the holding hole, the carrier body being configured to be disposed between upper and lower turn tables to which polishing pads are attached of the double-side polishing apparatus, the holding hole being configured to hold a wafer during polishing, the insert being configured to contact an edge of the wafer to be held, the method including: performing a lapping process and a polishing process on the insert; engaging the insert subjected to the lapping process and the polishing process with the holding hole of the carrier body; and sticking and drying the engaged insert while applying a load to the insert in a direction perpendicular to main surfaces of the carrier body.

A rock sanding device includes a base, a bottom sanding plate, an adjustable connecting rod, an elastic loader, a connector, a side sanding brush, a top sanding plate, an inner rod, a prong and a drill rod. The top of the drill rod is fixedly connected with the rotating shaft of the external water drilling rig and the external water drilling rig has a water inlet joint to introduce water into the drill rod. The inner rod and drill rod are connected and fixed coaxially, and the bottom of the drill rod is symmetrically welded with four prongs. The rock specimen is placed in the center of the side sanding brush. The top sanding plate and the bottom sanding plate are provided in the top side and bottom side of the rock specimen, respectively.
