So, since I started turning, I tried both wet and dry sanding/polishing. Wet is by far quite a bit better. My lathe accessories as well as the lathe body has gotten some discoloring. The mandrel gets a little bit of what appears to be then beginnings of rust as well as the mandrel saver.
I recently bought some towels from the dollar store to help lay under the mandrel while sanding and polishing the blanks, but I'm worried the damage has already been done. Is there some sort of treatment I should be doing? I know the lathe is a heavy/durable piece of equipment, but I want to make sure I'm treating it properly.
