One may also Trim 'dry'...
A sharp Tool and maybe a somewhat slower Wheel speed.
Set the work on thin foam-rubber, or, wet the Bat and hold
the work staionary as you rotate the wheel a little to make
a little slurrey at the rim or contact area, it will stay
put that way for a while...when it has wicked up that damp
as was holding it, merely lift the Work and wet the Bat
again, and repeat...
I did many that way...
