	What about changing the angle to 45 degree    !!  !!  alternating
  	                                                                  \  /

    It was suggested to me as a way to polish over solder joints so that
    you don't end up with a groove in the joint.  I also use it when i
    am polishing flat surfaces to avoid drag lines. 

Hope that helps
