- There is no need for excessive pressure. Work should be done by machine; the polisher must distribute pressure equally over the entire work surface.
- Always use stoning oil.
- Each Easy Lap can overlap edges by about 1/3 of its length.
- New stones should be radiused to give more guiding when first starting to polish.
- Driving rods are offered in different shapes to hold Easy Laps while polishing. Always use driving rods as flat to the work surface as possible for best results.
- Use every other grit for the most efficient finishing sequence, for example: 120 > 220 > 400 or 320 > 600 > 900.
- Using short stroke and high speed general yields best performance. 1.5 to 3.0mm strike with Large Easy Lap, 1.0 to 2.0mm with Medium Easy Lap, 0.5 to 1.5mm with Small Easy Lap and 0.3 to 1.0 with X-Small Easy Lap.
