Thank you so much. So far my machine has been accurate as far as I can tell. The left to right is good. After using the marker I found sweeping the lap brought in the top and bottom evenly and also helped me with a better polish. I hope I never find myself having to use the cheat but I understand better now that it will be for the left to right mis aligned. Taking the time to make sure everything is true before the first cut is as important as the CP being perfect.
My facets are improving and my meets are coming in true and with better precision. Loving it.
