This is a sample of the stones I took out of my Diamond Pacific MT-4, which I'm beginning to love.
I've had 3 batches come out of polish sense I got back into this. First 2 batches came out of my Thumlers A-R2. I did not post any pictures from either batches.
Don't get me wrong by no means am I putting down Thumler I love my A-R2 also, (see, I'm just a loving guy), If you need to re-read what I wrote above, 3 batches is all I've done.
Thanks to everyone here. You all have helped me with this 3rd batch and even tho it was not great its the best so far.
After reading and more reading I thought I would use my A-R2 for the first two rough stages and the MT-4, for polishing.
I used this recipe:

But the thing I like about the MT-4 is the variable speed it has via a rheostat. I ran the stones in the final polish for 9 days at a pretty slow vibe. The picture is just a small sample.
