[QUOTE="Wally69, post: 259685, member: 1916"] Welcome Christian Have given thought to the concept but have not seen it done before. Theoretically if you can control the precise radial and tilt angles and depth of the progressive polish, all should work. In my limited experience, the quality of your cutting medium will be important, as a single oversized particle will render a theoretical cutting depth calculation faulty, resulting in scratches in the final finish, an additional fine polish depth programme step should be considered. Precision in the radial, angle and vertical movements will be essential to prevent a spiral of facets resulting in meet point errors. Like your thinking and would love to see some progressive build photos and commentary. Good luck. Wally [/QUOTE]
