[QUOTE="rough2cut, post: 115561, member: 3816"] I often get asked what gives the best pre-polish and final polish in a lap.Well that a very broad question. The answer is what stone are you cutting. Sapphire copper 8000 Tin alloy or Type metal with 100,000 CZ same. Zircon, periodot, Topaz, quartz etc copper 3000 or Zinc then Tin alloy 100,000 or you can get away with 50,000. But I don't use these laps as I make my special alloy that gives the best prepolish and final polish of all laps Ive ever used. Its available from Gemcuts or Dazlyn Gems who are my NSW and VIC distributors. So don't go rushing off to China and give us Aussies a fare go. I also make Copper, Tin alloy and Type metal laps for these companies as there is no one else available to do so. So Im trying to keep innovative faceting ideas alive in Aus but theres not a lot of financial gain in it for me,just helps keep the bills paid. Whats your best polishing experience. Id like to here it. [/QUOTE]
