Using the Sharpening DVD

[Jeff Jilg]

Multiple people have asked how the DVD can be played in their CD player in a computer. Quite simply it cannot be played in a CD player.

It is a DVD, just like a DVD which you might rent from a video store like Blockbuster. It will work in any standard DVD player that is hooked to a TV.

It will work in some computers if they have special DVD player software installed, and there is a DVD unit hooked to the computer (or installed in the computer). It will definitely not work in a CD player.

Here I thought you were going to tell us how to glue some sandpaper to it so we could hone our tools! 😀

 

[Jeff Jilg]

That is possible! But it will make some interesting sounds with that sandpaper when you spin it up in your DVD player.

Thanks for the humor Bil! I laughed out loud at that.


I wonder how long the DVD would last on my lathe? 😉

Hi Bill

I prefer a softer backing for sanding.

However you might turn a small handle and point that fits snuggly in the hole and you'll have a spinning top.
