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:

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:

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.
