I’ve used the diamond core dremel pads for cleaning up wood fire pieces. It’s a bit too small for what you want, but it’s something?

I have those. I would love a way to make them larger! I also destroyed the 60grit in one sitting. Maybe if I just find a way to Velcro regular wet sandpaper to the dremel bit, it might help.

Some people told me that burnishing before firing is The solution but not with my clay.

With Plainsman m340, I have to sand the raw parts after firing. I enroll my son to do it with wet diamond sanding block😉 I know you can buy sanding disk you put on you wheel to sand the bottom quicker. Probably possible to use smaller disk to put on a drill?

My work is far too textured for burnishing - it would take away the texture. I use the wet diamond pads and have disks for a dremel but it’s still a ton of work. I wish it could be like wood turning where the lathe spins the wood and you just hold the sand paper in place, haha.
