I use the single buff system on a grinder turning at 3750, appreciate = that that is too fast and I plan on buying a voltage reducer gadget to = turn the speed down. Meanwhile (usually means quite a while as I = procrastinate) I've lost more than a few nice bowls as their edge = catches and they get thrown to the far side of the garage. Usually hold = the bowls in a death grip but occasionally, as happened yesterday with a = beautiful piece of oak which is now firewood, one gets away.
Question has anyone fashioned any kind of catcher for the Bell system. = I've been thinking of trying to rig up a blanket or something that might = save the bowls if they get away on me. (Arthritis in my fingers is what = I'll blame all this on). Would appreciate any other guidance on this = issue. =20
Does anyone use the White Diamond compound and Carnauba Wax while the = bowl is still on the lathe? If so how do you apply the compound
