    Polishing Tips If the specimen material is water reactive, ethylene glycol can be used as a substitute for water, however the polishing time may need to be extended. Buffer water can be used to prevent reaction with water sensitive materials. Buffer solutions are adjusted to a specific pH and a pH solution of 7.0 (neutral) is recommended for vibratory polishing.

    “striking” can cause machine damage (i.e. broken springs, cracked base or bowl, or cracked armature or core). If the air gap is too wide the VibroMet 2 will draw a high current, which may cause coil burnout, lack of vibratory action, or failure of control.
