    I never did like abrasive bands, debris all over, mostly in my face,
    yuk. 

    For heavy cutting try an inside ring bur. They come in various cuts
    and configurations. With any kind of abrasive grit you've got to use
    several grades of coarseness. Step 1, step 2 and so forth. With a
    sharp bur, by altering the pressure you can get succesively smoother
    finish, greatly reducing bur changes.

    I have some cylinder shape rubber wheels in a coupla compounds, I
    believe I got em at Rio. With a rapid back and forth motion(like
    honing a car engine cylinder) they will wear pretty evenly and give a
    decent finish. 

    I also don't like a ring buff for the baldor. Its OK but usually
    leaves small concentric grooves. I get rid of these by using a 7/8"
    white brush on the flexshaft and polish across the lines
