helpful hint

[Philip Duffy]

Just for fun, and with a good reason, I offer that the new plastic wine "corks" are a great source of innovative solutions. I drilled a 6mm hole in one, lengthwise, and pushed in the shaft of a 3in sanding pad. Stuck that cork into the jaws of my Nova 2 , mounted a piece of sanding paper, and let her rip! Hear ye, hear ye, an instant sanding disc for small works of art and trash! Philip

Sounds interesting - how about a picture?

[Bernie Weishapl]

Pictures please. Sounds like a plan taking shape.

[Steve Schlumpf]

Sounds interesting....... looking forward to the photos!

[Philip Duffy]

Sorry, guys, a picture of a sanding disc? Surely you jest! Just think it thru, its not so hard.

[Dewey Torres]

Phil,
Surely you are kidding right? Please tell me your camera is broke.

SMC folks love pics... of anything (see pic)

Well guys, sorry it wasn't that magic sanding disk but you got a pic of a happy Dewey and maybe Phil will post that pic.

[Philip Duffy]

Wellllll, Senior Dewey, if I knew how I would post the pictures of my complicated device but since I have not done that before, I pass.

[Dewey Torres]

We can show you how easy enough:

Take the pic
Transfer pic to computer
Create a post
Click on the paperclip icon (new window will come up 'manage attachments')
Click browse
Point to your picture file on computer
Hit upload (wait)
When finished submit reply

Once you go through this one time it really becomes intuitive.:)

See the cork? See the home made disc? See the sanding paper? Mount 3 to 2 to 1 and put in the chuck. Turn on the switch. End of story.

Great idea, Phil!

Dewey...you get a free avatar, too...

Sooo, lets see if this works the 2nd time. Kept getting "Invalid File" pronouncements!

Philip - the photo showing everything in place on the lathe works for me! Great idea! Will file it away for later use! Thanks!
