    Hello, I have been running CNC's for awhile but have always had the problem of lines in "T" edges and 'bevels'. I am able to get most of it out meaning you can not 'feel' the lines and really can't see them easily unless you look on a certain angle. Of course, it seems to depend on the stone material as well. I am presently running an 'eraser' wheel which occilates between my two polish wheels. I keep good pressure on the polish wheels as well. My boss is claiming he has had competitors tell him they are able to get the lines out and take the countertops straight from the machine to the install without any touch up. The machine manufacturer has always told me I will always have lines. I may be able to make it better but not make it go away completely. If there is someone who can help me out with this please speak up. Maybe I am doing something wrong or need a suggestion. I appreciate it. Thanks!

    sounds like my old boss, thinks he knows more than the manufacturer or the person running the machine everyday    i ran a park destiny for years an all the people i talked to about lines from manufacturers to tech guys (an from my own experience) said those lines would never completely go away. u can get them to almost disappear but i always ended up buffing them out by hand, takes just as long to do that as it does to run those 3 polish wheels at 35 ipm,  or like u said try an get it to almost not be there. all depends how many polishers u have there or how much time u want to spend calibrating the cnc

    try hitting the edge with a 400 grit pad (on the machine) after the metals and skip the P5 polishing wheel.

    It is working for some, depends on when the lines are coming in and how bad they are.

     Hello,

     I run a park Odyssey and I only run the metals no polish wheels , I still get lines but very minimal and when they get to be deeper I take a carb stone to the #3 and #4 wheels and re-dress the lines out by hand with a grinder. This gets the piece smooth with lines but they aren't deep and finishing it up by hand is cake. I have heard the same story though that some people are getting pieces straight from cnc to install but I haven't seen it myself and if anyone could tell me that secret that would be awesome.
