A chemical mechanical polishing apparatus has a rotatable platen, a polishing sheet that is wider than the substrate extending between two reels, a drive mechanism to advance the polishing sheet, and a chucking mechanism to intermittently secure the polishing sheet to the platen. The platen can have a platen base that is adaptable to receive either a circular platen top or a rectangular platen top.
