B Schools...

cross-pollination

outsourcing

right-sizing

macro management

e-marketing

shifting paradigms

stacking of management

All bullshiznit. How many people here have, or know someone who lost their job for one of these reasons?

In corporate America (Can I sound more rude?) When the old dogs bank enough dough to kick back, the HR departments are forced to hound the B-schools to recruit some kids with "ideas". (Remember the movie "In Good Company? If not, watch it.) These kids re-hash the old correct ways and attempt to do things they have no experience doing! This is why old stuff ALWAYS comes back.

Because its the way to do it!:spot

I am liking the sound of KB`s method here...although i use a flex da and i have felt like putting a lot of pressure on the machine is what caused my rashed backing plate....

Sometimes old methods are supplanted by new ones (the "development" of diminishing abrasives?), only to come back as a better method with a change in technology (perhaps in this case, the "micro-milling" of the abrasives to acheive a uniform size). When did we go from garnet to aluminum oxide and silicon carbide sandpaper? When synthetic abrasive manufacturing was developed/perfected to replace the natural (garnet or even "sand"). 30 years ago if you wetsanded it was with 3M wet-or-dry silicon carbide paper...today it`s a unigrit paper (3M also has a micron-sized polishing paper with more uniform grit size).

Just a small town girl, living in a lonely world

She took the midnight train going anywhere

Just a city boy, born and raised in south detroit

Once people realize who well it works I have no problem with people calling the THM. I`m humble like that

I am waiting for the final "paper" to be released before i make my final decision on my purchase. I was tempted to buy a flex kit with menzerna solutions, but after reading about this method i decided to hold off a little longer to see if i should go with a PC instead of flex.
