  1. When cutting off less of the sample it is ok to speed up.
  2. If the sample is too soft to lap down on the LP 50 it can be cut down on the cup wheel too. Take the sample down in increments to -0.069 slowly. After that it can go straight to the Logitech PM5 polisher.
Always set the digital micrometer back to -0.600, as a safety measure.
