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.
