The Morse Taper has threads cut into it, which leaves black residue in my MT...it's an odd design, albeit Bealle-like in appearance... In retrospect, I should have got the brand-name one...

Here are the articles I was talking about: http://www.woodturningonline.com/Turning/Turning_content/Beall-Buffing-Shaft-Project.pdf http://www.woodturningonline.com/assets/turning_articles/buffing_system/buffing.php I completed the first of the two articles. I turned the threaded rod on my wood lathe with my wood turning tools. It did no damage to them. This is the package of bubbing wheels that I purchased from Harbor Freight: http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=46262 I did purchase the actual compounds from the Beall Buffing System. They are listed below. Tripoli/White Diamond/Renaissance Wax: http://www.woodcraft.com/product.aspx?ProductID=141073&FamilyID=2036 http://www.woodcraft.com/product.aspx?ProductID=141072&FamilyID=2036 http://www.woodcraft.com/product.aspx?ProductID=08G22&FamilyID=3235 Hope this helps. I like the system that I made and it only cost me about $45 vice $70-90.
