As the cutting action decreases with use, additional PAN CUT can be applied to recharge the lap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA BATT™ used with PAN CUT must be dedicated to a single diamond grit.\u003c\/strong\u003e Diamond becomes embedded in the metal surface during charging and use, so changing a charged lap from a coarser grit to a finer grit can cause contamination from the previously embedded diamond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePAN CUT can be used with either oil-based or water-based lubrication systems. For PAN CUT, we recommend \u003cstrong\u003eSnake Oil™\u003c\/strong\u003e as the preferred extender. When a water-based lubricant is preferred, \u003cstrong\u003eSnake Fluid™\u003c\/strong\u003e may also be used. Other suitable oil or water-based extenders may also be used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt this time, \u003cstrong\u003eBATT™ is the recommended lap for PAN CUT\u003c\/strong\u003e. As cutters gain more experience with rechargeable diamond cutting systems, additional recommendations may be added.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAvailable Grits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e325 — Aggressive \/ Coarse Cutting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e600 — General Cutting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1200 — Fine Cutting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor suggested lap, grit and gemstone combinations, see our \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/product-charts\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Application Chart\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUsing PAN CUT\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCharge the \u003cstrong\u003eBATT™\u003c\/strong\u003e with PAN CUT following the recommended BATT™ charging procedure.
