How to achieve the perfect finish with RODA Felt and Diamond Compound

1. Prior to polishing make sure you have gone up to 12000 or finer with Wet and Dry Sheets or RODA NyWheels for best results.

2. Insert your mounted RODA felt into a polishing machine – e.g. eneksa/micromotor.

3. Squeeze a pea sized amount of diamond compound onto your workpiece (when working with diamond compound usually start with a coarse grit like 20 microns and work up to a finer grit).

4. Then work the felt into the paste – a spray of lapping fluid will help to lubricate.

5. Keep the felt moving, wipe clean with solvent spray and a lint free polishing cloth.

6. Assess the finish and then move to a finer grade of diamond paste if required.
