Graver polishing
Apply diamond compound to the back side of a
1/16" thick steel diamond lap (sold above) and use it for polishing graver
facets. When a metal lap is used, some of the diamond will embed itself
into the steel preventing it from wiping off. This is called “charging” a
lap. A copper lap works well for this too. More information about polishing gravers can be found on the EngravingSchool.com site:

Review by Steve Lindsay
I have been using this T-W Diamond Power Hone for some time. The speed in which I can rough and finish a
carbalt blank is under two minutes with the machine. I use the machine to rough grind using the Lindsay template
fixture. Once roughed I then rub the graver face on a Lindsay 2000 diamond bench diamond stone with 10 to 15 strokes and then place on the heels with 3
to 7
strokes per side depending on heel size needed. I use the machine at maximum speed for this roughing. The motor has good torque and I can lean on the graver somewhat that also
helps. If grinding a High Speed Steel graver I take it more easy and I don't lean on it as much so that the graver does not get hot and lose its
temper. Be careful with HSS graver and don't get them so hot that they turn colors. I monitor the heat of HSS gravers with my fingers while
grinding for this reason.
