Eleven Polishing Steps for Industrial Molds

IT IS IMPORTANT TO CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING STEPS WHEN DIAMOND POLISHING.

• MAKE SURE THE SURFACE OF WORK PIECE IS THOROUGHLY CLEAN, WITH ABSOLUTELY NO ABRASIVE FROM LAST STONE WORK.
  
  
• PUT SMALL AMOUNT OF SUN-DIAMOND COMPOUND AND ADD MORE LATER IF NECESSARY.
  
  
• ADD A LITTLE TINNER LUBRICANT IF THE COMPOUND GET DRY OR HARD.
  
  
• NEVER MIX DIFFERENT GRADES OF SUN-DIAMOND COMPOUNDS.
  
  
• MAKE SURE TO KEEP THE FELT, BRUSH OR LAP FLAT TO THE WORK AREA WHEN POLISHING. PRESSURE SHOULD BE LIGHT TO MODERATE.
  
  
• AVERAGE SPEED OF 500 RPM FOR ROUGHING AND 5,000 TO 10.000 RPM FOR FINAL POLISHING WOULD BE SUFFICIENT.
  
  
• EACH STEP OF DIAMOND COMPOUND SHOULD REMOVE MARKS FROM LAST STEP OF DIAMOND OR STONE. IF THIS IS NOT THE CASE, STOP IMMEDIATELY AND USE COARSER GRADE OF COMPOUND.
  
  
• BEFORE USING A FINER GRADE OF COMPOUND MAKE SURE TO CLEAN MOLD SURFACES THOROUGHLY.
  
  
• ALLOCATE SPECIFIC BRUSH, FELT OR LAP FOR EACH GRADS OF COMPOUND YOU ARE USING.
  
  
• PROTECT YOUR POLISHING AREA FROM CONTAMINAITION BY ISOLATING POLISHING AREA FROM GRINDING AREA.
  
  
• "POLISHING IS AN ART" THAT REQUIRES, PATIENCE AND SKILLS AND WILL BE REWARDED BY A PERFECT MIRROR FINISH.
