GRINDING AND POLISHING

STEP 4: PRE-POLISH

The 1,200# blue diamond smoothing disc is used

next. Once you've completed shaping your stone

with the previous steps, use this disc to remove

any scratches left from step 3. This disc is a pre-

polish pad, which preps your stone for the final

polish.

STEP 5: POLISH

The Tech-11 polishing pad is used to put the final

1,200# blue smoothing disc

polish on your material. You will need to charge

the Tech-11 polishing pad with the 14,000#

diamond paste before use. To do this, take the

diamond paste syringe, remove the cap and

squeeze the syringe plunger in a series of small

dots onto the surface of the Tech-11 pad (Fig.

B). Use your fingers to rub these small dots into

the pad. Once charged, you will only need to

apply additional diamond paste to the pad when

you notice that the pad is no longer polishing.

Using the Tech-11 polishing pad with water is

not required because the diamond compound

mixture contains its own carriers. However, if you

Tech-11 polishing pad with

are working with brittle, heat sensitive material,

14,000# diamond paste syringe

such as opal, be careful not to let your work

piece overheat. To avoid overheating, use a very

small amount of clean water to keep your work

piece cool or simply lower the RPM to reduce

heat buildup. Note: Use only one type of polishing

compound per Tech-11 polishing pad. Do not mix

different polishing compounds on the same pad.
