[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 406462, member: 24284"] Clymer makes a tool call a 'barrel spinner' (Brownells). I made a similar tool for my own use. It is used along with a minimum 2" wide belt sander (1750rmp motor, don't know how many SFM that is for the belt). Never used one with a grinder, I can only see a disaster waiting to happen if you did. A 1" wide belt sander hasn't the surface area contact needed to 'spin' or the HP, either. Fastest way I know of to polish a barrel. Just use a finger or two to slow the rpm of the barrel so the sanding belt is 'cutting' not just transfering motion to the barrel. [/QUOTE]
