[QUOTE="Mr Magoo, post: 343460, member: 3008"] I have done only about a dozen natural but TBH play around mostly with created sapphire. First cut is done with a 800# sintered. Followed by 8000# on copper prepolish. Polished with 100K on Tin. All on a GF4 I've also tried the gearloose 'Dominatrix' lap which has a 'BATT' prepolish outer band for prepolish and a composite inner band for polish. It works and I have two but would not recommend for a couple of reasons. I found out recently 'inox' as a lube seems to help reduce 'cat hairs' if you re getting them. Other than that no problems. I have had contaminant scratching on the Tin lap but have removed that by dragging a craft knife blade across the slow spinning lap. Do you sell rough at all? [/QUOTE]
