OK, I should know this but I do not. Should I be changing speeds, between, turning and sanding, or sanding and finishing? What speeds do you use throughout your pen-making process? I do not have varaible speed lathe and tend to turn, sand and finish at the highest speed. I have read other posts about finishing which call for reversing during certain finishing stages, I do not have a reverse and assume that I would get the same effect by flipping the tube from end to end on my mandrel or when TBC. I do change speeds for drilling. Sorry for what may be stupid questions, but I am self trained for the most part and have not seen these questions specifically addressed anywhere. I did find a thread from 2005 which seems to advocate faster is better with the exception of when applying CA.
