How and when do you "face" or square your blanks?
I voted the pen mill because I mostly use that with the drill press before turning, then after turning and finishing, I flip the mill around and put sand paper on it for a final touch up.
Ed, as usual, I go of the deep end. I use both the pen mill and the disk sander with a jig, primarily depending on the material being used. On acrylics and punky wood or even some wood that rather splinter than cut, I use the sanding process. On good wood that mills well, I go for the pen mill and drill press. so there, my answer is yes. Don't you just love it when some idiot as myself simply can not make up his feeble mind? by the way, I did vote 'sand'.

Same for me.I use the pen mill before turning and if I am doing a CA finish I use sandpaper on a mandrel face to touch up the CA.
