The guy I use only does spin grind. I asked about relief and he just told me he has not seen the need over the 20 plus years he has been maintaining equipment. I can't debate the topic but I can say two months into a spin only, cut every other day, I can cut a single sheet of paper and have only adjusted by one click so far. I have the stuff to backlap but I guess when the time comes I will drop my cutting unit off.
