Re: [MBZ] OT - Media For Vibratory Tumbler
Since you are polishing something that is chrome plated, walnut shell is too soft to do much. Suggest you use the small triangle abrasives instead. Since you want to polish the parts, not strip them, suggest that you approach the task in 15 minute sets.. ie run them with the abrasive triangles for 15, check them, add more scrub time as needed with frequent checks on progress... a 320 grit triangle scrub, check the parts, if they clean up, polish them with 400 grit scrub.. Since they are likely plated parts, and you don't know how thick the plating is, caution is your friend.

[MBZ] OT - Media For Vibratory Tumbler

Someone who is a "high math genius" please calculate the true dollar cost per driven mile for this EV wonder car.. factoring in financing interest costs, insurance costs, depreciation factors, etc. My gut feel is that this vehicle represents one of the most expensive in history to own and support vs useful miles driven cost.

When “thin” styles were all the rage I tried a set and quickly realized these would not work for me. Remember OmniLux? This started out as a thread about OmniLux. Some brands of progressive lens can be had with a transition corridor as tall as 18mm. OmniLux is 22mm. Progressives are like no-line trifocals. Most of the induced astigmatism (swim) on the sides is due to the two spots where the transition is somewhat abrupt. OmniLux is a continuous (but not linear) transition from 20 to 1 foot. You still get the bad areas on the sides but they aren't riddled with astigmatism. The good zone on a progressive is hourglass shaped, with the top part (full distance vision) as wide as the lens, the bottom part (reading zone) much narrower, and the good zone at intermediate range is practically a pinpoint. The good zone with OmniLux is funnel shaped. Again you have a full width 20' zone, and then it gets narrower as you get down towards the bottom of the lens. Where the narrowest useful area in a PAL is right in the middle, with OmniLux the narrow part is on the bottom. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
