Mirror surface finishes are tough to achieve because of the multitude of factors that come into play. As a layman, I'm trying my best to get acquainted with the subject from a scientific standpoint. We found a tool called the YG-1, that has given us the closest to mirror finish that we've gotten yet! No only is the YG-1 extremely affordable, you don't need a distributor to get it. Let's compare two different cuts and test the Ra on a profilometer. Finally, we'll look at the YG-1 cut under the microscope so we can try to understand the physical manifestation of speeds and feeds! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
