Must be a bitch, polishing out those rings ahead of the chamber, huh Tom?
OK, I'll shut up now. he he he
When I was a kid. I had the stick. I had the rock. And I had the mud puddle. I am as adept with them today, as I was back then. Lets see today's kids say that about their IPods, IPads and XBoxes in 45 years!

No, I just use a coarse belt on those.

On a side note:
I bought a Baldor 2x48 belt sander about 30 years ago. So far I have abused the ever-living-snot outta it and I have had to replace sweet-fawk-all but the on off switch. It would be nicer to have found a Wilton Square Wheel back in the day, less bumpity-bump-bump and the cost of belts is less, but I still can't complain. Damned thing will, polish, grind and fix damned near anything and give you change back for a buck! I haven't taught it to fetch me a beer yet, but I don't think it's beyond it's limitations. Just operator error.

Just spit balling here, but - - - - - maybe feed it a couple of Toms, infernal, tent peg, rebar, Mauser barrels as a treat ?
