How to use the Weha 6" Donkey Quartz Polishing Pads for Vertical and Horizontal Inline Machines:

This Weha combo system took several months of R & D and has been tested on 5 head vertical machines as well on up to 8 head horizontal machines.

The combination of the Weha 6" Inline 3 Step pads and Donkey pads is producing an excellent polish on all materials with all machines.

for 5 head machines:

Step 1,2,3, Donkey Pad 1000,2000 or 2000,3000 depending on the stone and how much gloss you need to match.

Typical quartz use 1,2,3, Donkey Pad 1000,2000

For greater texture use Step 1,2,3 Donkey pad 600,1000

For 6 or more head machines the sequence can be the same as the 5 head sequence. You may add the 3000 grit Donkey for the occasional very difficult granite.

Machine Specs:

Step 1: 3 Bar

Step 2-6: 2.5 Bar

Feedrate: 120-250cm (48"-100"+) per minute depending on machineand color of stone.
