[QUOTE="Dihusky, post: 414071, member: 10304"] Agree with the speed issue, but not much I can do without changing motor, belts etc, stuck with the speeds I have, the low speed (750rpm) works well with diamond polishing but have to be careful about pressure on the stone as it can go too far fast. Lap has been scored and is fairly well aged, the cerium seems to grab it well. Final cut on the stone was with 3000. Not sure about twinning as I am unsure what to look for. Piece I am working on is crystal clear, no inclusions, nothing to mar the clarity. [/QUOTE]
