Woodturning Abrasives
Nowadays, there are several makes and varieties, widening the range of abrasives from basic sandpaper, sanding cloth and now net abrasives.
These can be used by hand, and some can be used on sanding tools. Each individual can choose which abrasive is their favourite, and which one to use for the job.
Pen Making
With acrylic pen bodies, we recommend using cold water to lubricate between the pen body and abrasives to keep the sanding cool. we recommend the net abrasives and foam backed porous abrasives. The pen body can be finally polished using Rustins burnishing cream on damp kitchen paper towel, continually moving backward and forward on the pen body.
Dust Extraction / Air Filtration
To overcome these issues, Microclene designed an air filtration system where fine floating dust could be filtered from the workshop air. Microclene were given awards for the design and technique used for their machines. Many of these machines are still working today, and machines are now being manufacturered by Thor Filtration.
Along with dealing with the fine dust in the air, it is also recommended to wear dust masks as well.
