Lathe.

Kinda figured :weary:

Now that I rudely asked a question without first searching for the answer… off I go to see the history of the FoyBezel!

Edit: found a nice post from Foy

I recommend not using something high speed and/or overly hard to do this mod. A grinder may speed things up but the heat might discolor stainless. It gets hot enough just using an orbital. My best success is when I sand them down on the orbital starting with 100 grit. Then lightly sanding (with the orbital) with 220 grit, very lightly. Then, and this is key I believe, I use padded 150 grit and spin the bezel without sliding/moving it in any other direction, just spinning. Finally, I repeat the spinning/sanding on 320 grit padded sand paper. I believe the padded sand paper makes the bezel outside edge look more finished/professional. With regular sand paper you get a sharp edge and it would be more difficult to to smooth it evenly. All this sanding/spinning is why I use an L2r; its long body is a perfect hand-hold. I end by lightly rotating the finished bezel on very fine steel wool. I tried this because of a suggestion from someone here and it works quite well. (can’t remember who)
