Here one will see the entire process of polishing a large-sized bevel wheel in 'real time', 32 minutes. The larger the wheel, the more time consuming this process is. A bevel was chosen because these are also more difficult to do than a conventional flat wheel. One comment made by Buchanan in the video is very important to this process and that is that he cuts out the wheel spokes as accurately as possible using the jeweler's saw so as to minimize the finishing work required at this stage. Blades are very sharp and the saw has been specially converted to run at a slower speed. The time consumed at this stage, is made up in the finishing procedure.
Listen carefully to the monologue, this is what is important in this video; the explanation of the process. It is rare to be able to sit by the side of a true master to see and hear how he performs his work.
