    I use small squares of leather to hold my pieces being polished. It
    helps keep the heat at bay and the leather gets worn away instead of
    the skin. Keep a piece on each side of the polishing unit to help
    avoid cross contamination. 

    The idea of gloves or any loose clothing near a spinning shaft
    absolutely terrifies me. That fear may be from my machinist and
    steam powered machinery background. Those who have only lost a
    finger can consider themselves very lucky indeed. I would rather
    have dirty fingers than none at all. 

Bill
