Inertial Sanding
Inertial Sanding; sanding with a tool specially designed to hold a disc of sandpaper, and spin on an axis without the use of a motor. The tool relies on the fact that as a section of the disc presses against a spinning piece of wood, mounted on a lathe, the disc will spin, the sandpaper will contact the wood and sand the surface.
IRD
IRD - Abbreviation for "Interactive Remote Demonstration." Demonstrations performed to a group of people over the applications such as Zoom. These demonstrations allow a remote group of observers to watch a demonstration and communicate with the presenter(s).
Irish Grind
A Swept Back grind, much like the Ellsworth grind ... rather than the traditional bowl gouge grind. Many people equate the Ellsworth grind and the Irish grind. Others feel that a bevel of about 55 ° and a wing twice the shaft diameter defines the grind.
For a generic picture, see the Ellsworth Grind.
