Awesome.

How long does it stay in that machine until it is totally round and polished?

Just google it already

But seriously, this is what I do..

120 grit with metal cups - Until its round and flaw free.. 2-4 hours
120 with pvc cups - 25 minutes
180 pvc - 35 minutes
600 pvc - 45 minutes
600 pads - 45 minutes
cerium pads - 10-30 minutes, depending on the color of the glass
50,000 diamond powder pads - 15 minutes

If you leave one speck of a previous grit on the machine, your mib gets scratched. I spend about as much time cleaning as I do grinding/polishing.

**Chris Juedemann** · 10-14-2011, 05:49 PM

600 cups

**Sketchball** · 10-14-2011, 06:07 PM

Amazing work Chris. If I have any questions for you I'll make sure to Google it haha

what kind of saw is that?

**maui greenstone** · 10-14-2011, 07:15 PM

also not to be a jerk about it, but I know Bob's family sues over reproduction of his image. Not sure how the laws work, but be careful with it for sure

$45 from Lowes. It starts out with a 3.5 blade, but after heavy use you can use a 4", and stick a twig behind the exit point, to keep the water from splashing on you.
