Roger Pellett Posted July 4, 2018 #1 Posted July 4, 2018 (edited) 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.

Maury S Posted July 4, 2018 #3 Posted July 4, 2018 Roger, I think you can get much more aggressive on the paper grit...like maybe down to 120. As you said, experiment.
