Daaaaaaaaaaammmnnn!!!! That is some fantastic work there Jason!!! Now I have to go cut up some more of the lace agate and get back into the groove Thanks my friend!  Good...gotta get a fire going under that tail of yours! LOL (Just teasing!) That Lace Agate was super fun to mess around with! It's softer than a Crazy Lace...but takes a shine...and the patterns are just as (if not more!) beautiful! |

Actually, the textured was chewing them up...so I ordered a "regular" 80 grit diamond...and its still grinding the crap out of them. I get that I had a well worn Galaxy 80...so it was more like a 120-150 at this point. But these new wheels are removing material and gouging...leaving massive grooves. The material removal is off the charts fast. I don't remember the Galaxy 80 removing material this fast...and I know I had that Galaxy broken in within a short period of time. |

I've never used a KN wheel. Just Galaxy and the Lithuanian one- which was very aggressive, but didn't last long. I prefer an aggressive wheel, so I'll get KN next time.
The rate your going, you'll get it broken in. |

When I first started, I didn't really care too much for moss agates for some reason...but then they grew on me, making me do a 180 on my opinion of them! LOL |
