Block Polishing Machi


Recommended Posts

Today I finished my block polishing machine, crude but it works. Made entirely of on hand scrap so it cost nothing.  It is powered by my Sherline lathe on a slow setting.  The tin can is lined with 800 grit wet dry and the flappers are made from the same.  I may experiment with more aggressive paper down the road.

Roger, I think you can get much more aggressive on the paper grit...like maybe down to 120.  As you said, experiment.
