[QUOTE="SneakyCuttlefish, post: 327487, member: 3340"] I use 8" BATTS for 3000# pre-polish, 14000# polish, then straight to 100,000# on a 6"BATT. One thing with BATTS though, the factory finish is terrible so I take mine straight to our local engineer and have him re-surface it dead flat before I even use them. I just recently got a new 6" to try with 600# cutting compound but I wasn't happy with the results. I might have to grind a few peices of junk sapphire down to set the diamond in the alloy propperly.
