I have a little diamond disc from a chainsaw sharpener at Harbor Freight. I find it handy to polish the ends of cuts like I would get on an axle, or cutting cable housing.
Or polishing tips of tools. It has been quite handy. Unfortunately I don't have a tool rest with it, but may make one sometime.
