[QUOTE="Greybeard, post: 285738, member: 8412"] I have watched a couple of videos and read a few articles and am a bit confused with copper laps. So far I am using diamond laps but they seem a bit harsh so thought I would try copper. Anyway, I am confused about using water or not using water. I noticed that when charging a copper lap with 3000 for a prepolish they are not using any lubricant, but when charging for cutting with 1200, 600 etc they are using water. What is the reason for using water when cutting and not for polishing? [/QUOTE]
