no grit cork??
hey guys so I got a question for any one that does any mirror polishing. so in the past I have always gone up as high as I can with belts.. then I would use a felt belt that goes on the grinder and you put compound on it just like a buff. then what ever compound I finish with I do it on a buffer. I have found that to be much quicker than going from abrasive belts straight to the buffer. so I had 3 of these felt belts and I haven't polished anything in a while (although the next one will be) so like I said haven't used these felt belts recently and I have no idea what I did with 2 of them. so I remember seeing NO GRIT cork belts at trugrit so they are much cheaper the felt is between 20 and 30 bucks the cork one I think are about 6$ so I am wondering if any of you guys have used these no grit cork belts and if they are any good? I would much rather buy 2 of them then spend the extra money on the felt ones as long as they are decent. the felt is really really soft so it by itself wont leave any marks on the blade I am not sure if that is also true with the cork? lastly I have never used a "stainless" specified compound is it really any better then a different compound?? I would think the only thing that REALLY makes a difference in compound is the grit in it regardless ofsteel type maybe some steel is harder to buff so you start with a compound with a larger grit not quite sure what makes a compound "stainless"
