[QUOTE="Mr Magoo, post: 239448, member: 3008"] I haven't used a 3000 plated and I am only repeating what I have read. So I guess if it ain't broke etc. etc. I think the problem is from cheap manufacturers using badly graded diamond grit and also problems relating to the surface plucking of chunks of diamond as they age. Probably be aware of it. I've always used 3000 (or 8000) on copper or a BATT. For me it's just a case of feel, listening and looking. Experience also. I used to over cut like no tomorrow. You have to be aware once you recharge it will cut like a knife. Even wiping it down of swarf makes a huge difference. That's just my opinions. [/QUOTE]
