All the diamonds are on hog hair. normally we start with 100 or 220.

Your right in using honing powder in that case. Are you mounting your diamonds on a hog hair pad? This will help eliminate picture framing,

 

On most of your jobs what diamond grit are you starting with ??

Thanks John, We use with honing powders sometimes and spinergy pads. We get floor where the picture frame is not polish but scratched like the rest of the floor. Regular honing with resin pads cannot take care of this problem.

Tony ,

 

There is really no  difference, I prefer the cut you get with 5 pad .

 

Why do you want to weight your machine. Are you cutting lippage? This si the only time I recommend weight and then I only recommend 20 to  25 pounds depending upon the stone.

 

In normal honing, by adding weight will do two things,  1. Wear out diamond faster diamonds are made to cut weight wears out diamonds. 2 you will increase the amount of picture framing.

I have been hearing that using 4 3 inch diamond resin pads cuts faster than 5.  Is this true and why?  Also does anyone have any ideas on how to make your own weighted plate for a floor machine?
