Are you looking for a coupon code to buy my software? You can get one from lots of 3rd party sites but they won't work. My software never goes on sale and has never been discounted. The only coupon codes that are given is when I give a club presentation and I offer a discount to the attendees. Other than that, everyone pays the same price.
Sanding small diameter rings

I wasn't sure tape would hold, I'll try tape.
On the lathe would I use a tool or sanding board?
With either method is .010/.015 " oversize enough to work with?
Is the side rail on the backing board to compensate for side movement caused by the helix on the sander drum roll, no pun intended.

- I have found tape to hold. You just have to do light passes (sanding). Drum sanders are not planers.
- As far as on the lathe. Depends on how much you need to flatten. Sometimes I just use a sanding board. Sometimes I use a carbide tool or bowl gouge doing a sheer cut.
- With a drum sander you mentioned 6 inches. I assumed the 6" is the distance between the rollers. The side rail should be made of wood. The reason for the side rail is to keep the carrier board from ever lifting up between the rollers. The side rail helps keep the carrier board down and gives the rollers something to press on. imo, it also helps reduce the chance of your small ring from being lifted up as it goes through the sander.
I have even put rails on both sides of the rings and also have a front and rear rail. Basically boxed in the rings on the carrier board.
