nice. i do all mine on rotating silicon carbide wheels by hand. then to .05 micron alumina. would like some nice machines like that to help me out tho. lol
how many paper reused before you change to new paper? or you use once? standard at my lab is the coarse grit use 120 and finest 2000, but the supplier company often out of stock and only supply up to 1200. is that fine? do your disc holder has loose fit to mounting? my disc holder has gap 0.5mm and 5mm thick so sample wobbling when machine running resulting curve face. that annoying when using microscope escpecially when observe chrome thickness at the edge. sorry for my bad english
extec, I always get terrible results with extec, almost no diamond concentration and very rounded regardless or poly or mono. lower concentration than buelher and stureurs
It is always a pleasure to watch your clips, you are the only one which explain the samples preparation in detail!
great videos!
The platen goes back up for about 1 or 2 millimeters, not centimeters.😁
Great tutorial it's really helpful and very detailed, can I ask you where you get the silicon carbide sanding discs in the US??
I've used Extec, Struers, and Buehler in the past. They are all good
@@CharlieSanabria Ok great, thank you so much.
Just out of my curiosity, why would you want to polish your sample parts with some days of interval? Great video, thanks for the sharing.

TH-cam has spoiled us... A little video editing goes a long way.
