Put it in the cut advisor under "tools" if the spread is "VG" or "Excellent" you are good to go, if you get back "good" you may want to reconsider. That''s probably the easiest way to figure it out, while getting general info if the light return will be good as well (under 2 consider, above 2-2.5 discard)

This Chart should help you. .80 should measure around 6mm.

The spread of a diamond is important, but only one part of a complex puzzle. Don''t over emphasize one component part while not attending to the rest. Doing the task piece by piece is fine, just remember the overall context is based on how many components fit together.
