[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 151057, member: 2976"] Got a bunch of laps here from grandfathers old machine (a Hall). They are of standard sizing and fit the VJ. I'll start with them. There's #100 (I've been advised not to use that one, too coarse and heavy and causes sub-surface trauma on many stones)#360, #600, #3000 and various other copper laps marked #15 000, #50 000 and #100 000 and a couple of thick, extremely heavy unmarked laps of some other metal (tin maybe?) I want to get a set of really good laps but that will have to wait a few more months yet. I have a number of thick, hardcover books on faceting and one that is just faceting patterns. [/QUOTE]
