<span style="color: red">'''Safety Point!'''
Never hold any cloths, including Emery Cloths, loosely in the hand when polishing on a lathe - it can become entangled and cause severe injury.
Fix emery cloths to a backing stick as shown. Alternatively clip into a sanding block or use an abrasive sponge.
