Clever use of your resources. Machining delrin to a nice finish is tricky, but it can be done. Is that why you are sanding, to get a better finish?
If so, then guiding the inevitably long/ stringy chip away from the cutter to prevent it from wrapping works well. No need to move to sanding.
Remember to remove the water from the lathe!

This makes me happy. Every time I hear about a southern team working outside, I get jealous. But none of those teams would be able to use this solution, so maybe us northern teams aren't so bad off after all.

And over here on the West Coast, I find the North/South divide bizarre! It's all (comparatively) warm here, from Seattle to San Diego!

We do this all the time to keep our drill bits cold when doing tons of cheese holes, and along with a little cutting oil, it works great.

I checked the Seattle weather, it was 55F at 11pm.

How is that possible? Connecticut is considerably farther to the south than Seattle, but I'm still inside my house freezing inside a winter jacket.

The jet stream pulling cool not cold air from over the ocean onto land?
Seems possible to me.

It's going to be 65º all week over here! It's great!

Hey we have problems down here too. The massive Florida humidity causes our drill bits to rust out within a single season, and it wreaks havoc with PLA and nylon filament. The extruder on our printer practically steams with all the absorbed moisture.
