[QUOTE="Kingsolomon, post: 116236, member: 578"] That's a big call " favourite " lap ! I guess my favourite one would be the one that stays on the machine , as opposed to what might , or has flown out the window . I have many laps I'm trying to work out . Don't think I can judge a lap untill its done quite a few stones . And then ... It's going to depend on what material your cutting . As I'm doing a lot of quartz lately ( something I thought I'd never really cut) but now am enjoying when I can get it to work properly . At the moment I'm running 600 straight to polish . Sometimes it works:)rough2cut laps have worked well for me , just a little problem( probably me !) on quartz . Topaz , sapph ... No problem . And fast. [/QUOTE]
