    I have used my drill press in the same manner on several occasions, except I hand held my disc grinder with a sanding disc on it to do the grinding. In each instance I only needed to take off about 1/16 of an inch. After grinding I polished the work piece up with several different grit sand paper in the same manner as you did. Like you said, "It is only stupid if it doesn't work" Keep up the good work.
