Diamond Pad Sequence Cost Calculator

A sequence that consumes a working set of pads. The grit count is the lever: adding one grit to the sequence adds a full set of pads, and the sequence length is a method decision rather than a polishing one.

Pad life is a measured figure for one machine, one stone and one grit, and a hard stone shortens it while a soft one extends it. The sequence length is entered separately because it is a method decision, so the result is a plan for the sequence you described. This is a planning figure for the values entered, not a measured result. Coverage rates, product yields and application rates are properties of a specific product, applicator and substrate, and the label or data sheet for the product you are using always takes precedence over the default here. Cost covers the chemical only, at the price entered. It excludes labour, equipment, applicators, consumables, freight, storage, waste disposal and any over-pour that the allowance does not capture.
