looking good my friend. what kind of rpm's will your cannister turn at ??? i ended up with mine at around 45-50 rpms. thinking about changing one of the pulleys to speed it up a bit.
good luck

I've no clue but I have several motors to work with just in case.
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

Keep those RPMs lower
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: Keep those RPMs lower
yes wedig, someone mentioned to me that the round bots can be run faster than the square or rectangular pieces. i'm kinda learning on the fly. i've had my foot in a boot for the past 10 months, so i'm kinda running out of stuff to clean. foot finally healing so i'm hoping to get out and dig some new candidates asap. probably gonna be next spring till i get out there, but can't wait. i'm going to try a combination cutter polish called Raybrite. we'll see.
