Default Wood turning on a metal lathe

Mostly though, woodturning ends in the sandpapering stage. If you're
good, this is a light polish. If you're fighting a leadscrew cross
slide, you start with 40 grit and shape it nearly all by sanding.

PS - vacuum your lathe bed afterwards.


I did the sanding using a drill press going at 120 rpm.
