[QUOTE="Pro-oz, post: 483945, member: 3186"] Thank you, Pat Hogen and Dihusky for all the information and appreciate it very much and have taken it all in. Just of the top of my head my laps are 1 x 960 diamond lap ( this is marked on the box) 1 x 1200 diamond lap ( marked on the box) these two laps are very worn. 1 x solid copper lap in good condition, 1 x Lucite lap in good condition, 1 x tin lap has been machined. I have almost finished a garnet in The Standard Brilliant Cut, will post a pic when that is done. Even though the 960 and 1200 laps are worn I am not having any trouble. To me a beginner the machine seems pretty accurate haven't had to use the cheater my facets are lining up nicely, and polishing with the tin lap but taking a bit of time and not having to use the cheater. The only trouble I have had is my own silly fault and not the machine. I have taken all the info on board and have a lot to learn. Love the hobby. [/QUOTE]
