Yup, I have my disk sander set up with the foot pedal so I can start and stop with the part flat against the disk. I'm thinking, though that my grinder, which has a variable speed motor, might be better. Provided I use a new 60 grit. I had also considered doing a groove down the middle to take off material - like with tapering a tang - and then flattening on the flat platen and then by hand. Just trying to think of a way to take the most material off and keep the heat down at the same time.
I will move my water bucket to the other side of the shop so I don't dunk the piece from habit.
