Default Turning and finishing a mirror finish on mild steel

Your not getting what is referred to as BUE are you. BUE is built up
edge, and it comes from the material your cutting building up opn the
cutting tools edge., Its known to drag or make marks in an overall
good looking finish randomly. Try using a diamond hone to polish up
your cutting tools edge a bit, and make it more slick. that sometimes
helps a great deal....You can get them at Wal MArt in the sporting
good section for under $6.00 or so.....
