How to Use Your RIDGID Wood Lathe (continued)

Sanding, Buffing And Polishing

Using The Lathe To Sand Turnings

Turnings can be sanded with the lathe
running. A large sheet of sandpaper is
useful for smoothing cylinders. All other
sanding operations are done with a nar-
row strip of abrasive paper. The applica-
tion of the sandpaper strip is shown in the
illustrations. Care must be exercised in
order to prevent dubbing the corners of
beads, shoulders, etc.

WARNING: Remove tool rest
when sanding to prevent serious
personal injury.
