Thanks All! this one was fun to work on because I went in without high expectations not having done a small yet. I like how it turned out - and yeah I need to practice shaping beveled corners heehee. I didn't use a template and just cut this one free-form which I'm sure is part of the problem.
Hi Orrum I've got a home-made (by my brother) 8" grinder that is currently set up with 100 and 220 (hard diamond) and 400 drum on one side, with 600, 1200, & 3000 Nova wheels on the other. I will get a 14000 Nova soon when I can afford it but for now this combo seems to be working. I try to stay patient and spend a LOT of time on each wheel once I get to the 600 wheel - drying the rock off every few minutes and checking for flat spots and scratches. If it's not perfect for that stage I don't move on.
