4.6 POLISHING CONDITION CHECK
Check the condition of the ferrule tips after polishing. If there was a deep scratch caused in the fiber during the adhesive removal step, satisfactory polishing cannot be obtained. In this case, repolish.
NOTE
When repolishing ferrules that have an unsatisfactory polished condition, polish from the grinding step to the finishing step to obtain consistent polished quality.
