G'day mates, I have shaped a few preforms and thrown them with some ather stuff for a couple of weeks in 80 grit and am thinking they are ready for 220 grit, I only use a rotary, after an earlier thread I thought I would ask for opinions.

thanks ppork

Nice batch. Darryl.

From what I can see, they look ready to move on. You've got some nice ones there. Chuck
	Some rocks aspire to greatness; others are destined to be grit carriers.

Some may need additional tumbling. Fran
