Q
Hello, We are interesting in a polisher but would like to run DI water while polishing. Is this OK to use water with these polishers?
A
Depending upon the particular application, an individual polishing step may be processed either dry or with water. Water tends to provide better surface finish when used on the final step. Just a couple light sprays of water on the film is sufficient.
