Default Re: Working with my new (to me) machine

if you take a work piece and do a "cut" on an area....lets say 4" wide which is obviously several passes, be very deliberate in your movements...then right in the middle of that area "color" one strip right down the center, you'll see the difference. at first, i didn't really try to maintain any form to my polishing, but after some time i finally noticed the difference and understood the function of each of those motions. and now i realize why they call one of them "cut" and the other one "color".
