The Porch is always a good place to look for an answer. My father was a
machinist and about 30 years ago he gave me a tool chest full of things he did
not use any longer. Brent’s second msg rang the bell. Sure enough, in that tool
chest was a rotary stone for a drill press. And best of all, it is conical in
shape so covers the range of diameters I need. It is a bit fine for this task,
but a little time is going to work wonders on these gouges.

I also have one of those little 1 inch belt grinders. Move off the platen where
you can use the slack belt and it wrapped the pitted gouge just perfect. A few
seconds and the last 1/4 inch of the gouge is pit free. Ran up the back quickly
for about another 1 1/2 inches to keep a linear surface and Bob’s your Uncle.

Thanks all,

Bill
