I use a PC.



I read all the time about people making "passes".

Does that mean doing the whole section is 1 pass? (including up/down/left/right) or (up/down/up/down) or (left/right/left/right) etc etc.

Or... is up a pass and down a pass and left a pass and right a pass? Thus that polishing step for that section had 4 passes?

I read about some people using a rotary making 1 pass to get the job done. If that's really just one time 'left' or one time 'right', MAN, I gotta save me some time and get a rotary!!!:woot2:



I find that since the PC is low on power, I'll be doing at least up/down/left/right/up/down at the highest speed. Is that 1 pass for that section or 6 passes?



And if it's 1 pass, then what's the correct way of saying that the whole process was repeated. Other than 'x2'?



**So I think I just confused myself in the writing of this post!!!** :think2

but I'm hoping it's really just a simple question that's easily answered.
 
I'm guilty of using the term "pass" whenever I feel like it. I think an application should be a serious of passes, where as a pass is when the working section has been covered one time during the application.
 
When i say "a single pass"



i mean working the polish up, down, left right and repeat until the polish has broken down or done its job. I just did a single pass"



However some people use the word pass to describe a single up/down movement. So to work and break down a polish may take 10 slow passes, where as M105 may take only two passes to do its job.



Its very confusing :)
 
Thanks.

I think I'm goin' with Todd and SuperBee where multiple passes make up an application.

Strange how simple and yet confusing it can be.

Thanks again.
