I've done all the traditional approaches, but so far have yet to use power tools.

The polishing bits make perfect sense.

Once you get your head around cosmetics vs. function, minor stanchion damage isn't such a big deal.

I've got two forks that look like they could benefit from the power tool approach.

Seal preservation is the main thing for me and it looks like this is the best way to do it.

I've spent hours going at it with files, sanding, polishing, cleaning, and filling.

This looks like a quick and effective route for repair.

Does this work for all stanchions + stanchion coatings in your experience?

Thanks
