My question is, after using burrs at a faster speed for cutting followed by reducing the speed for sanding, how the hell do you continue to sand and polish in the tighter spots. I tried using wet and dry paper, but because I couldn't get any pressure I didn't get anywhere, maybe I tried too tough a project. Here's a pic, It broke so it's not finished (I thought I'd quit whilst ahead) but I plaited it anyway. Help Help Help Regards Flynny
