The drive mechanism is attached to the platen, is configured to support a generally linear polishing sheet with a portion of the polishing sheet extending over the platen, and is configured to incrementally advance the polishing sheet in a linear direction relative to the platen. The chucking mechanism is configured to intermittently secure the portion of the polishing sheet to the platen.
