When production cutting I would do batches starting with fairly fresh sic belts and sanding the hardest preforms first . After a 30 to 60 stone batch the belt was shot and I would change it for the next grit. This requires good light for inspection and a vast mountain of towels for drying the stones for inspection. I use costco wash cloths for a long time now, they suit me fine and last .

I recently built a new 8' work bench and put a 2 wheel arbour for buffing next to the caber 2 muslin buffs one plain and the other with Zam. One day I just reached over and and dryed a cab on the spinning plain buff and have been using it ever since. Sometimes I hit the stone on the Zam especially soft ones and that usually tells the story very quickly.

I was going to do just that. It was a 4" pixie and way to small working area anyway. The guy I sold it to has done just that. It works great now. (Besides I convinced my wife I needed a 8" machine

) a win win
