I'm wondering about the measurements of how much cutter to how much polish. I'm told just work with polish till you get used to it is there a formula? thx privvydigger _____________________________ gtr'dug (in reply to buzzkutt033) Post #: 3

Keep those RPMs lower - 11/12/2008 10:31:05 AM    wedigforyou Posts: 76 Joined: 7/29/2007 Status: offline Hey buzz, you might want to reconsider on changing the pulleys to raise the RPMs. We had much better results when we were running 50-60 rpms. We're now at 85 and my results are not nearly as nice and I'm having to send my bottles for a second spin. Even keeping them in longer at that speed doesn't seem to help.  I'm heading to home depot for a new pulley to lower our rpms. Just a thought! Other folks on the board have cautioned not to raise the rpms - just doesn't work.  Maybe the beads and copper lay on the side instead of rolling across the glass. I've been trying Jar Doctor's oxide and having mixed but probably better results overall.  The stuff I got from Rock Shed just left a stain even when I used more water.

RE: getting ready to spin - 11/16/2008 7:04:55 PM    Stardust Posts: 1179 Joined: 10/5/2007 From: OVER THE RAINBOW Status: offline I wondered how you did that. How much does it cost per bottle for the electricty roughly? Is it noisy?  Can more than one bottle at a time be done?
