Abstract
Chemical polishing of surfaces of Nb RF cavities is an important part of cavity fabrication process. Because of the dangerous nature of the chemicals involved in the process, safety considerations require careful design of the facility and of the process. This report describes the major features of the facility prototype at FNAL and a description of the process and the control systems.
