I use my lathe with two cotton 10 inch wheels 1/2 of each wheel dedicated to pumice, red stick, white stick, and finally carnauba in hard stick. I can adjust speed, highest 1750 RPM. At that speed pumice will get most oxidation. Now I soaked my stems in Oxiclean powder and warm water. Then, if the oxidation was deep sanded the bits with 500 and up to 1500 grit. In some stubborn cases I had to use a 1/2" wheel on my Dremil with pumice mixed with Walnut oil, even hand rub, before taking it to the big wheel. I should note I have an 8" hard felt wheel impregnated with pumice and oil for tough spots that the above couldn't get. Charatan DC bits were the hardest to work given their stair steps. I have found that Dunhill used a very high grade vulc. One final note, I learned the wheel on a lathe at the pipeshop (Diebels) that I worked at in the 70s. It's very easy to get a catch and throw it across the room. If your pipe is attached it could be a bad scene. So go slow till you get a feel for it - like riding a bike. Hope this helps.I have to take the plunge and give a buffing wheel a try. Hand buffing is not working on my stems.
My Dr said if you know that you can't remembet something it's just old age, i.e. a senior moment, not dementia. It's dementia when you don't know that you can't remember, LOL.Casanova in my Rossi Canadian, G'nite BoBs.

Really have to learn to post these as I write them. It'sTuesday morning and I'm having my coffee with my Bones Dublin filled with H&H. Wondering if dementia or Alzheimer's is creeping up on me...I can't remember which.
