What kind of tools I need?
In my kiln cast sculptures I have large surfaces
that are slightly curved - convex nac concave.
What are the proper tools for grinding and polishing?
Just now I have nothing but two grades of diamond pad,
1000 grit wet'n'dry paper and a piece of chamoise
to use with aluminium oxide.
The hand polishing keeps me unhealthy long
times in front of telly. Suggestions for inexpensive
power tool solution?

Much of the time I use a battery powered drill with pads attached

Grinding and polishing
Thanks Brian, I had forgottn that.
It does not work in winter, when the roads are icy.
I have a Dremel, but have to find diamond pads for it.
