Lightning Lap D'Lite Diamond Laps

I have used these laps from 600 grit up to 14 k for a few years now as a commercial cutter. They are super for light facet cutting to prepolish to polish. As they wear in, the polish gets even better, as the grit essentially gets finer. I can go from a slightly worn 600 grit lap directly to polish in most cases, depending on species of course. The nice thing is that they have aggressive polishing properties, so you can actually polish in small facets, and you don't waste time going through a lot of lap stages. There are not too many gems I've tried (even many soft ones) that these laps won't polish well--and quickly--from a hardness of 3 to a hardness of 9.

I am still learning. I was using metal diamond laps up to 3000 grit then transitioning to lightning lap 8000 grit to start the polish. The problem that I was having was when transitioning the angle was always slightly off and I would have to play with the cheater adjustment to align with the facets. After purchasing a 1200 and 3000 grit lightning lap, I no longer have to adjust the cheater saving time.
