Polishing Aluminum

This video shows you how to take the tooling marks out of a machined piece of aluminum and polish it to a mirror finish. We use a Baldor buffer various compounds and sand paper. The rough machined surface is smoothed out by first sanding it with wet sanding paper on a lathe. Then the pieces is polished to a mirror finish using a power buffer.

How come you didn't let us see you actually letting the wheels do their job much? This video would be much more interesting if there was less talking and more actual polishing in it.
