I read with interest about putting washers on a plater tool.  Then about
using dumps (center of the washer), and finally using nickels.  The reports
said that grinding went much faster and used less amounts of grit but to
hog you needed a tool of the proper ROC.

This is what I'm planning.  A friend has a 16" F5 waiting to be
polished.  I will use that to make a subdiameter tool 12.5" out of
hydrostone.  I will cover it in nickels and use that for the hogging and
fine grinding.  I'm not sure how to attach the nickels.  They seem a little
thin to just pour the plaster around and expect them to stay put especially
after digging channels around them.  So I may just epoxy them onto the
surface.

Has anyone experience with this? Does anyone want to comment? Dale Eason
