Lathe Polishing Tool This tool will help eliminate the risks associated with sanding and polishing on the lathe
This tool a safer alternative to polishing by hand
Very easy to use! This tool will allow a safe sanding on lathes. It protects the operator; eliminating the risks associated with the use of his hands.
This tool attached to the existing tool post to hold abrasive belts for sanding, polishing and deburring operations on turning lathes. It is designed to fit the different diameters of machined parts This device makes no direct use of hands (for greater operator safety).

Moving the crack prevention radius to the end of the added gap would make sense. I thought it was aluminum until you mentioned honeycomb. The algorithm took years to start showing the best mini lathe ideas.
Very cool. I designed fully 3d printed belt sander that attaches onto my qctp. While I like my design, I'll give this one a shot as it still looks useful for smaller parts.
thanks for sharing, very nice tool !!!
greeting from Indonesia
Glad you like the video. Thank you for taking the time to comment and it’s nice to know people in Indonesia are watching the videos as well. Have a great week.
Man I need something like that before I loose a finger.. I polish alot to get finishes needed. I work for a rocket company and sometimes gotta polish to get in tolerance also. What a great idea man!!
Thank you for the positive comment there’s been a ton of negative comments on Facebook

Hi Ray. I work for an aerospace company and we are interested in working with you to address some of our hand polishing concerns.
Would we be able to purchase a tool or have you work with our operators to trouble shoot ?

Hi Zara
The plans for the polishing tool are posted and are free
I am a professor at Conestoga College and not allowed to do contract work outside of the college
But I can help you through a zoom meeting or if you have other technical issues I might be able to lend some guidance for general safety practices
If you need a polishing tool that is specific to your needs I may be able to redesign something or redesign the one that I’m using currently
Ray
would love to have this 3d model design. The link is expired. Could you update it or let me know how I can get the design. Thank you.
I just updated the link check it out and let me know if it works for you or not all the best
Thanks for sharing! Gonna use this
Genial
Could you make a narrower version that fits into 1/2" toolholders ?
Awesome tool sir!
Please make video on plain turning,taper turning,facing,knurling, grooving operations of leathe machine . And detail information on cutting tools for all operations of leathe . The work piece should irregular in shape and also another work piece on regular cylindrical shape on regular Cylindrical work piece .It is my humble request. If I like that video I share to my friends
👏
I do have knurling and taper turning
working on the others
@@shopandmath I didn't understand what you want to say
Thanks Ray, would 1 screw work also? It would secure both sides,Thanks.
I agree. A single screw and clamp should work. You just need to hold both ends in place at the same time while tightening the knob.
very cool! thanks for this!
👍 great idea! This would have prevented a lot of injuries or deaths.
Thank you
I'm afraid this tool will not work in practice (for sanding) because of one aspect which has been overlooked.
When sanding, you must keep refreshing the area of emery cloth which is in contact with the job.
This is because the clith becomes clogged and blunt within a very short time during use.
There are devices designed for this job which allow you to continually wind on fresh cloth.
I would love to see one
Depends on the paper you use. It does work "in practice" especially in finishing to a tolerance (no surface defects) because I made one...
I've never done any 3d printing. Can you recommend a middle of the road quality 3d printer that could handle this build?
i use a flash forge
and love it
THANKS THANKS THANKS FOR SHARING! great idea, could you also add the stl for the nut? i can't find it
try now Just posted the knob files

your link is useless. You should put a link to where you go to buy it.
I don’t sell the polishing tools
The link is there so that you can print it yourself for free
Rate where available sir
The STL files are available online for free, and they can be printed at most libraries for free
No, what a time consuming exercise. Just glue (double sided tape) some abrasive sheet to a strip of wood, or several strips of wood.
That’s hilarious I’d love to see the owner of my shop see me pull that out he would throw me out of the building
Every tool has its use, if YOU pulled it out I would assume YOU needed to use it for a specific reason, your shop owner should ask YOU about the tool and see how YOU were going to use it before "throwing YOU out."
Hand use of sandpaper for finishing on metal lathes is an OH&S no-no where I'm from for good reason, so I assume your owner is well insured. Or not...
Really great idea I’d like to print a couple. I don’t see any files attached could you update the video and add to Files maybe put a link to Thingiverse. Thank you very much for your time and effort in teaching apprentices. I wish I had someone like you in my life when I was an apprentice.

Why not make it out of aluminum rather than plastic?
The way that I approach this problem may differ from other people because I am designing this for apprentices and people that are new to machining
In other words people that don’t have experience and that will make mistakes so I wanted it out of plastic and I also wanted to break in specific spots
I want it to break clean and in front of the tool post preferably between where the two screws meet so that if it does get caught in the workpiece it will not whip
I also wanted it to snap if you accidentally hit the chuck
Thank you for taking the time to comment it is much appreciated

I think I will change the design a little and make a hand held unit. Mahe it 3 piece which will effectively work the same but easier to make and hand held with round handle... Great Idea...I will probably add adjustable quick locking levers instead of knobs. Also different sizes to accommodate larger work...
Probably yank the hand held unit outa my hand, and knock outa tooth . js
It would be interesting to cast it out of resin, or aluminum.
Very nice tool. You mentioned that there is links to the STL files but I don't see any. Thank you for the nice video.

@@shopandmath Thank you.
Thank you for the video. I was able to print the tool from the file you posted. It came out nicely. Was there supposed to be an STL file for the knobs as well? I didn't see one. Thanks in advance.
the knob file is posted now
@@shopandmath thank you so much! Happy Holidays!
;-)
Proper technique would be to use a loop of emery long enough to pinch between 2 fingers so that it will simply get pulled out from between your fingers if it ever catches so that being able to let go is never a factor.....
That said I am making a holder for belt file/linisher belts suspended between 2 pins and tightened by a spring-loaded 3rd pin(similar arrangement to that of a belt-grinder) so that I can quickly change grits/belts and just move the belt a bit when a section gets too worn and use up the entire belt before replacing it.
This is a good little introductory project for a high school shop class.
since you're an educational partner if you send me an e-mail at shopandmath@gmail.com
And you need the original SolidWorks file I'll see if I can dig it off and send it to you
this is an interesting project I have been approached by three companies to consult with them due to safety issues that this might resolve
keep up the good work
Ray
Dear Prof, Thanks a lot. Do you know any tool for polishing the head of the shaft ? specific for instance if it is not flat surface but concave one? Question extended to anyone!!
or ua-cam.com/video/R7uIimv2grU/v-deo.html
Why didn't you get a patent on this? I just saw a video of a man with a coat getting caught sanding on a lathe, and needless to day he is no longer with us! It was gruesome to see!
I probably have made about 10 maybe 15 tools that are 3-D printed
I’d like to give my designs away so that other people can benefit from them as well
Ideas that are locked away usually die
And if this helps somebody or prevents them from being injured
That’s worth a lot to me
Thank you for taking the time to comment much appreciated
Ray
Looks great however I have a mini lathe and would need a smaller tool. Can you shrink it down or possible send the cad file?
Solid Works file is included
Downloaded and printed last night. Thanks for the files. Do you have a download for the knob?
try now Just posted knobs files
Nice one Ray, thanks very much for posting, much appreciated
thank you
Ray
Great project. I am going to build it in the new year when I get a 3d printer.
send me a photo
I would love to see it
Ray
Nice idea. I think need change top clamp for regulation length sanding paper without cut, change length have new contact point ( or cut bottom & moving top) - economy paper. now 2/3 paper go in trash.

Thanks for sharing. I do appreciate your efforts.
thank you
Ray
That would be 1 screw in the center.
My original design had one screw in the centre
That will work just fine
I thought that I would need more clamping force that’s not the case
