dynamo surface
« on: September 29, 2009, 12:31:05 PM »
I was wondering what surface grit most people have on their dynamo's that they are having the most success with. I am considering take mine from 4000 abralon  to maybe 1000 or 2000.

I just wanted to update on this. Lane #1 sent me a email that said the oob finish on this ball is closer to 2000 abralon.


I also emailed Lane 1 back in March about the surface of the Dynamo and here is their reply to me

Ron,

Thanks for checking out our website, hope you've enjoyed it. There are 5
steps in finishing the ball. Each step is 25 seconds going from 50
micron(240 grit), to 30 micron(400 grit), to 20 micron((500 grit), down
to 5 micron(1500 grit), then a 4000 abralon on the last step. But, in
our opinion, either the 4000 abralon pads are not fresh or there's not
enough time to get a true 4000 finish on the ball. So to answer your
question, it's probably somewhere in between. If you have any further
questions, please feel free to contact us again anytime by e-mail or
phone 1-800-Lane No.1 (526-3661). Thank you.


Seems according to this reply they weren't sure what exactly the OOB surface of the ball really was.

Let us all get passed the OOB grit and come back to the topic at hand.

"what surface grit most people have on their dynamo''s that they are having the most success with"

This is a very interesting subject and wish everyone put their input on the subject.

Let's put this to rest....here's the facts....


Dynamo was hit with a 360 Abralon pad heavy and lightly finished at 4000 Abralon.  Box finish is right in a sense.  It is 4000 finished.

If you were to take a new 4000 pad to it, the surface would seem very different than OOB as it was just lightly finished with 4000 at production.


Everyone happy?


Now like Roy said.....back to the topic at hand.
