[QUOTE="Mike6158, post: 344263, member: 1039"] Thanks for all of the replies. The main thing that will dictate the size of the lathe, if I get one, is the location that I have to set it up. I don't have room for a big one right now. Blackbrush- I know the area your in. I've got customers (I do contract control system and PLC programming for the energy business) all over that area. Blackbrush (the company) is familiar too but I've never worked for them. Don't think they still do processing and compression. I've worked everywhere from Tilden down to Alice over to Freer, Carrizo Springs, Eagle Pass, etc., and on down into the valley. Thanks for the info Roy. I haven't checked HF yet. Polishing- Just an idea but have you thought about using Flitz or Semi-Chrome (I like Flitz) on one of those cotton-wool mops that "they" sell for cleaning guns (bore mop)? Or super fine steel wool? I'm betting the steel wool is a bad idea for some things due to impregnation of the particles in whatever it is that you are polishing. [/QUOTE]
