the thing that gets me is the amount of drag with the coticule. egads it is more like sandpaper than glass when there is a slurry.
are there different grits of coticule? do I really need a slurry? I have flattned it with 1500 sandpaper so i think it is flat. I am begining to regret sinking almost $150 in this thing.
