If you have a 1" ferrule, it is real easy to screw it up with the 1" belt...
Here is the trick so that you don't screw it up.
Start by turning down the ferrule where it meets the hosel when that is done, keep turning the head and move toward the top of the hosel in 3-4 rotations of the head. Done. No need to tape the shaft or the hosel (some people do this thinking the hosel will get scratched). Key is to keep rotating the head in the proper direction (you will know if direction is wrong...ferrule will "burn") while applying moderate pressure against the moving belt.
Machine speed doesn't matter ... pressure and rotation will compensate for different machine speeds. I find a total of 5-7 rotations does the job. Also, build yourself a turning jig to rest the shaft in two places.
Nothing improves club appearance more than a well turned ferrule! And a properly aligned grip. But that's another subject.
