I couldn't pick a favorite without staring at them for a winter or 2. Bet the pet wood would slab up nice but you better get through the rest of that bucket first

Are you using a flat lap, or what is your process here?

Bought an old Poly from Roy several years ago....Stripped it down and took the bump wheels off (Trashed them),put on expando wheels...
I use just the sanding belts and my Ray Tech cabber, for the polish wheels...I also use a polish compound that comes in tubes..
Long process,but you do what you have to do,with what you got....
(I use five different grits,on the belts)...

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
