[QUOTE="vonG, post: 312979, member: 9242"] But then you dont know when the rough stone first hits the lap, just an estimation. When preformed the stone first it will off course be easier. My way you will know exactly when it hits the lap and how much it has taken off the stone after grinding. And how much force it has used to do that. That information can be stored in a databank and used the next time cutting the same mineral. Aha, so it was a saw. There are cheaper saws than 1200, all depends on what you need. But brand saws are expensive. How will you manage the water and oxides or other lubricants on the laps when its vertical? Will the water not spin of the lap easier when vertical? How do you clean the used laps if you are going to have it auto changing the laps? [/QUOTE]
