A great study, if I could only cut a regular cab, then if I could only polish...

Thanks Jim! Not sure if this helps but I always flip cabs over quite frequently (no matter the shape) so that my left and right hand are trading off the same sides of the cab. I find if I don't do this frequently my cabs come out skewed to one side. I think it's partly because my hands do not apply pressure equally but also because one side of the cab is always closer to the outside of the lap disc (which grinds it faster). It's a little more time consuming but since I started doing it I have almost no problems with symmetry. That is an excellent explanation you grammar translate into fine grind techniques !now I now why my hearts are lopsided well I am dyslectic yltsom

Absolutely amazing. Nobody mentioned the blinding polish yet. Too entranced by the magic. I've studied curvature most of my life but it never involved rocks before.

Wow, this thread is great. I am convinced that I need a flat lap now. Dangit!
