--- Quote ---I've never used a polishing mop, not being into bling --- End quote --- We can solve that Stew..... Once you catch the bug you'll find it hard not to start shining up your loco!!! :bugeye: :thumbup: I'm sure John could show you like he did me.... Only took about 20 min's to show me the working principle and the rest as they say is history :headbang: Oh and "style enhancement" please..... Not bling..... We have a reputation to uphold here! :) :lol: Ralph. |

Very neat idea! I use the same kind of idea... Strips of heavy cloth with Brasso and run it up and down, only works for round objects! Otherwise i have a dental hanpiece with adjustable speed and a collet to accept small mandrels. Love the background music by Ed Alleyne Johnson, have not listened to Purple Violin Concerto for some time now!! |

Nice to see people still read the older posts :) As stated... My way not the way! There are many different ways of getting fine results, I use a pencil die grinder for very small/fiddly bits :dremel: Ed does play mighty fine music.... Although haven't seen him in Chester for a while now? Oh well.... I do have 5 of his CD's to keep me going :ddb: Ralph. |

I use my lathe to polish as well, I have been working on a MT3 arbour because I have hit the chuck. It felt like a baseball bat to the knuckles, lucky though only a cut and bruise. I use the lathe for a lot of things, a few weeks ago I wound a coil for an engine I was working on. Back to the polishing though, nice job with the arbour. I was using a mop on a bench grinder and the speed is way too fast, I lost more parts across the room than I finished. Thats why I went to the lathe. -B- |
