Really? I know nothing about metal? You said metals can deform at LOW TEMPERATURES, such as 70F-100F I assume. Soft metal can easily handle 400F-500F before deforming it does in fact become softer, but provided you don't hammer it then there are no consequences. It's only carbon steel that tempers at those temperatures, nonferrous metals and LCS will return to their earlier state. Buffing heats the surface and even when a piece too hot to touch the core is still cold so water works perfectly.

@alexanderkm11 to each his own i always say but i cant afford to take the risk been there done that wrote the book and burned it , lessons well learned , i play it safe thanks, you can do what ever you want and think what you like, someday youll learn as i did and then youll change your ways as I did.. have a nice day

@camochannel1 can you resend me the video i think i accendetly deleted it

@alexanderkm11

part 2. Think about non-stick frying pans the heat is well above 500F for long durations and they are made of aluminum. That said I still don't let them get too hot to touch some where under 120 F that is under the temperature that you expose your parts to when you clean them with hot tap water and that is for a longer exposure time.

@alexanderkm11 you realy know nothing about metals do you and you didnt read my last post from the sounds of things either go back and read it please . ,, and its not a waste of time to do the job right the first time,and my cutomers do not pay extra for the time it takes me to polish the items i make for them.

@KevinMillard68

So why not use water to cool it rapidly instead of wasting time.

[KevinMillard68]

@alexanderkm11 its only 1 of several kobsi do for a living , i own a muilty business, custom machine work,airgun mods computers small engine repair auto repair , auto body and paint,welding, if you under stand metal you will also know that heat can comprimise the structural integrity of the metal as well.hence the reason i watch the heat very closly as to not allow this to happen plus brass bronze and aluim will deform even at low temps so you have to watch how much heat you allow

[alexanderkm11]

@KevinMillard68 I agree that heat can be a problem thats why I use a damp cloth to cool the part quickly when need be. You said that you do this for a living, that would mean that you will need to charge $50 for the polishing just to get minimum wage. If you really need to stop a project then find something productive to do in the mean time, polish another part, machine some other project.

@TheMultiGunMan thanks man

@snoopdog68 cool cool
