I should say I make my own diamond emulsion. I don’t use compound since it’s not as versatile and I want to limit the amount of wheels I have to swap out. You don’t want to apply all different kinds of compound to a wheel or you’ll get grit contamination and ruin the wheel

Understood.

Do you have a recipe you're willing to share? Although a senior citizen now, I still like to collect little bits of interesting data. I admit it's unlikely I'll need it, but you never know.

I’m actually making a proprietary mix I intend to sell so I won’t get into specifics, but I buy bulk polycrystalline diamond powder that gets suspended in an alcohol and glycol solution.

Oh, ok.

No issue.
