Frequently Asked Questions

  • Q: What grit sequence should I use for hand polishing a glass edge?
    A: Start with 120-240 grit to remove saw marks, progress through 400, 600, 800, 1200, 1500, 1800 for surface refinement, then apply polishing compound (cerium oxide for glass) on a felt pad for the final mirror finish.
  • Q: Should I use diamond hand pads wet or dry?
    A: Always use wet. Water lubricates the diamond surface, removes grinding swarf, prevents overheating, and extends pad life significantly.
