it has to do with the planetary head action. The three heads are spinning at about 800 rpm while the entire plate is going in the opposite direction. This results in a high hone at lower grits.  Faster RPM generally mean higher shine.

Fred, why would the 301 make it too shiny if it is using 200 grit pads?

Just an afterthought..many of you may be wondering what a DS 301 is?  Its a small planetary head hand machine. Pics and info can be found at this link  http://www.amazon.com/Intertool-DS301-Planetary-Polisher/dp/B000NBEDG8

I agree honing powders are the way to go...Although I love the DS 301 I would not use it...it will make it too shiny.

Hector-You should be able to give it a nice flat look using honing powders. 280grit should do the trick.Use a hogs hair pad dont forgrt to get all the edges as well.

I got a call from a old customer, who has a limestone counter top and she is wants it to have a flat hone finish.

 

I did the counter top with a ds-301 intertool at 200 grit diamond pads.

 

She call back today and said, it is has too much shine in the counter top  still.

 

How can I make it totally flat and no shine at all ?

 

I need to call in 2 days.

 

Any one got ideas?
