Sanding, Buffing And Polishing

UsingTheLatheToSandTurnings

Turnings should be sanded with the lathe running in sec-

ond lowest speed. A large sheet of sandpaper is useful for

smoothing cylinders. All other sanding operations are

done with a narrow strip of abrasive paper. The best fin-

ishing grit is 3/0 for softwoods, 4/0 for hardwoods.

Worn 2/0 paper is often used, and is the equivalent of 3/0

or 4/0 new paper.

The application of the sandpaper strip is shown in the il-

lustrations. Care must be exercised in order to prevent

dubbing the corners of beads, shoulders, etc.
