Woodturning a bowl too long for its width. (13)

"When the other bowls are boring, this one could keep you awake."

My preference to remove a tenon remainder such as this is to power sand it. The technique can also be used to finish an entire bottom. woodturning big wing image
The three parts of my system include a lathe block threaded 3/4" x 16 thread for my bowl lathe, a Roll-Lock™ disk holder, and a 3mm hex key for the two hex screws that hold the disk holder in the lathe block. sander holder image

The set screws are in place at 90° from one another for a secure grip. woodturning big wing image
Mounted on the lathe, the disk is ready to use with a 120 grit sanding pad in place. The dust collector hose is ready and the remote switch is handy to use. woodturning big wing image
The sanding disk has been well used but still has a lot of good in it. The lathe is set at 2500 rpm. woodturning big wing image
Work the bottom of the bowl against the spinning pad, rotating an eighth to a quarter turn each time you bring it to the disk. woodturning big wing image

Continue through the grits until you reach the one used on the rest of the bowl. woodturning big wing image
