I finished up turning my little custom, tapered reamer on the lathe. I used a cutting disc
to cut out a quadrant and ground the cutting edge sharp with a dremel. Hopefully this
works. It's mild steel, but it only needs to ream out two holes...one on a test part, and
the other on the finished part.

|
Yeah, no. That didn't work at all. The cutting edge dulled in about three turns. Sigh.
|
|
So, I used the lathe to turn a tapered wood sandpaper drum that I could chuck into a drill
from the outside.
|
|
The sandpaper drum approach worked pretty well. It dulls the sandpaper quite quickly, but
here's a preview of how the button will look.

Also, my fresh epoxy came from Amazon today.

I mixed up a test batch. Works as expected...a short time later, this batch could
be sanded without clogging up the sandpaper. Not tacky at all.
