Not true. It depends soley on the individual coticule (mine probably couldn't do it as it's a fairly hard specimen), as demonstrated by Bart with his Unicot method. Yes, it does take some extra time, effort and experimentation but it is still very possible to achieve.

i have several coticules. i have one that is fast as lightning well as fast as my 1k naniwa if not quiker. I have one that that is a little slower about 4k/3k and one that is around 5k/6k. they allpolish very nice the slower cutter gives me avery soft smooth edge the quikest cutter give me a smooth yet crisp edge. pressure with slurry willspeed things up.
