Insert your mounted RODA felt into a polishing machine \u2013 e.g. eneksa\/ micromotor.<\/p>\n 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).<\/p>\n 4. Then work the felt into the paste \u2013 a spray of lapping fluid will help to lubricate.<\/p>\n 5. Keep the felt moving, wipe clean with solvent spray and a lint free polishing cloth.<\/p>\n 6. Assess the finish and then move to a finer grade of diamond paste if required.<\/p>\n\n
