Sanding lines.

Any objections out there to using mineral spirits to clean the wood before finishing?

Mineral spirits tend to give me a good idea of what my finished product will look like. Some marks that are there after sanding, will disappear when the finish is applied

I use DNA for the same purpose.
 
Arbortech makes one for a small angle grinder. I have it and love it. Perfect for stationary sanding. No swirl marks and no tendency to dig in. https://www.arbortechtools.com/us/s...xo4uTa-SCgx3gVqKc557I2RoNoa9OMNTYOZCDGNAAPZT0
Arbortech is pretty cool. I've thought about getting one of these ... ball gouging ... things for making spoons
that ros attachment looks pretty cool, but I feel it may be a bit long for inside bowls. IDK
