Hello everyone....

A techniques which I see sometimes mentioned is microfacetting of the pitch
lap with window screen, plastic netting, etc. Are there distinct advantages
to microfacetting the pitch lap during polishing and /or figuring that
would indicate that it should be done as a necessary step? Also, if
microfacetting is beneficial, why are the pitch squares themselves cut
fairly large, instead of smaller, when you are making the pitch lap to
begin with? I may be shooting from the lip here, but wouldn't it be more
efficient to cut smaller pitch squares, and use microfacetting as well?

If I am completely wrong in my assumptions here, would someone please
explain to me where the differences lie?

Thanks,

Bob Mazzullo
