Try using a black marker on the diamond wheels (position 2,3,4). Run the position 1 diamond, draw a line on the profile of position 2 diamond in four spots then run the diamond, check the lines to see where the diamond is hitting, make adjustments (radius or length) draw lines on diamond again and run that same diamond again until it is lined up with position 1 (lines are removed from running the diamond on the pc. of stone) then go to the next diamond and repeat the process until all the diamonds are aligned and removing the black lines. you can do the same thing with the clay polishers. This can be done on a scrap pc. and when you are done you have samples. It should only take an hour to complete the setup.

We are running a brembana that has dynamiic compensation for the radius of the tools. we use this for the clay polishers, as the tool runs the controller reduces the size of the radius to compensate for tool wear. We are using ADI tooling and have had great success with the caly polishers.

Our machines do not have a presetter or "probe" for measuring tool size. ADI tools come with measurements, we set these measurements in the control and go from there.

Does your machine have automatic cutter comp.?

What brand of tools are you using? We had an ADI tech come to our shop form Italy and explain how to set up the diamonds and supplied us with the speeds & feeds.

I also run the position 4 diamond and the pos. 5&6 clay polishers 2 passes. We get a excilent shine on black granite.

We do not have a convex saw so I have not comment but have heard good things from freinds.

We have a laser scanner but it is a 3d scanner for relief carving. place a 3d object on the bed of the machine, scan it, make changes (size, mirror, reverse, ect.), porgram the scan in software, and cut a new pc. it is made by Scantech.

I have not used other brands of tooling but I do know ADI works for us.

good luck.
