Thread: Bevel pics

New pics. I'm just going to post the last few. I went back to the 1K. Then 3K, 5K, 8K, 12K, 20K finished with 30 laps on the Arkie. The bevel is a mirror thru the loupe hard to look at, but in the pics, thru the microscope the bevel looks dull and grey. Don't know what that is about but...

I used more torque to get more work on the bevel close to the edge and I can see two sections of scratches on the bevels from this. Did the circles and I think it does look much better but, I still have a few stray scratches as Rez said. The edge does look straighter from the side. This is a plus. I feel I'm getting closer but don't know if it would get much better than this. I want perfection, but maybe there is a limit to it?

I went to the 20K and then wasn't happy, so I went back to 8K and worked up a third time. No strop pic this time.

8K


12K


20K


Arkie


Looks to me that the 20K really makes bad spots show a lot. And the Arkie added a lot of scratches.

Damn, The 20K pic is fuzzy at the edge!
