Simple how do I?
« on: October 25, 2011, 09:50:14 AM »
Sure this one will be very straight forward, but what do I polish a casting with once I have machined it? I would like it all bright and shiney and have no idea where to start ...

Thanks
Steve

Hi.
You have to begin with emery cloth. I use to begin with 600 then 800 and finish with 1000.
After that polishing disc with good polish. I use to end with carpolish so the finsh will remain a longer time.  :headbang:

Good luck  :D

Just knew it had to be fairly straight forward, but until you ask, you just don't know.

Many thanks  :)
