Can be dangerous. I've done a couple of square turnings and those
wings are scary. Trick is slow and easy with light cuts and be very
careful 'cause those wings are as you said GHOST. I used a trick
someone told me to sand my turnings by wrapping sandpaper around a
piece of styrofoam packing that I took out of some box, Kept my hands
away from those wings.

I sort of go with Derrel on the speed... I'd rather turn it a bit faster and
lessen the chance of a catch..

Having lots of sore fingers and a few scars from wings, I use foam backed sand
paper, folded at least double... and if possible, on the end of a dowel or flat
piece of stock..

Both of the bowls in the pictures that I posted were probably 85 or 90% power
sanded... Sanding pads are easier to replace than fingers..
