Jaegers 6" f/10 "GJD" OTA Construction - Main Tube (sanded with 220-grit)

 

Main Tube sanding with 220-grit sandpaper - 2 (Click to see an enlarged image.) 

 

After previously sanding the main tube for the "GJD" with 60-grit sandpaper using my random orbital sander, I replaced it with a 220-grit disk and sanded over the entire surface. The results can be seen in the photo above. Using the sander surely got the job done quickly and beautifully. Quite a difference from the 60-grit. Now all that remains is to hand buff the sanded finish with the green Scotch-Brite pad.
