Thank you octane_workholding for the lathe hack. Who else has other lathe hacks?

“#Lathe Hack-This is an old school trick to save some time and free you up to do other things.

I am putting a bit of polish on some stainless steel stock that came in looking very rough.  This was not required for these parts but it is a good practice to always go above and beyond.

The sandpaper was secured with a turning toolholder and set screws pinching it in place.  The Lathe was set to a fine feed and high RPM.  The feed was set to travel toward the tailstock so walking away wouldn't be nerve-wracking.  The tailstock was used since this parts geometry was perfect for this. 

This isn't ideal for every application, but it sure made short work of these parts.”
