When using an emery cloth, how should the ends be held during the finishing process?

Both ends in the right hand
One end in the left hand and one in the right hand
Both ends in the left hand
No specific hand placement required

The correct answer is: One end in the left hand and one in the right hand

When using emery cloth for finishing processes, holding one end in each hand allows for better control and even application of pressure across the material being worked on. This technique creates a more consistent finish, as it enables the user to apply equal force on both sides while moving the cloth back and forth or in circular motions. This gripping method also minimizes the risk of the emery cloth slipping or shifting unexpectedly, which can lead to uneven surfaces or scratches. Using both hands provides greater stability and precision during the operation, allowing the user to manipulate the cloth according to the contours of the workpiece. This technique is especially important in millwrighting, where achieving a smooth finish is often critical for the functionality and aesthetics of assembled machinery.
