Re: [ATM] beveling edge

[Kevin MIchael Zabbo <chaosopher23@yahoo.com>]

If you have a power sander that can be worked wet,
load a piece of #60 or coarser auto-body sander into
it and use that.  It's easier and not as slow as the
whetstone.

I know, you may think I'm crazy, but this will work if
you're not too forceful.  I had my edge beveled with a
large wet band sander at a glassworking place.  It
took all of a couple of minutes to put a good 45 on
the edge.
