Okay, I do NOT recommend this but here is a new way to use your basic no-longer-wanted hard drive - make it into a grinder ...

For those like me who feel this is a bit much, there may be salvation in the idea, that being to use the thing as a burnishing/polishing wheel, although it is a bit fast for one, by applying a tiny bit of diamantine and water or oil to the surface after removing the iron oxide stuff then using very light touches for the finishing steps.
I've never dug around the inside of a HD logic board to figure out how to control the speed of this monster but it would probably be nice to slow it down a whole big bunch to avoid wearing splatter or workpieces or the potential of bits of broken disk. I guess working in close to the hub would be a good thing too.
Anyway, I figured I'd show y'all that maybe we aren't so crazy after all; there are those out there who are definitely worse on a good day than we could ever be on a bad day.
Best regards,
Kludge ... who probably was that crazy in his youth
