Default Lapping Anodized Aluminum

I've had to do similar work to the OD of anodized pieces. Hard
anodizing is hard but not *that* hard. Give it a quick rub with
carborundum or silicon carbide, and I'll think you'll find it works out
alright. Go really slow and use a lube. You probably find that the
initial work will make a big change, as you take off the high spots, but
it'll go a little slower after that.

I agree with Pete. Silicon Carbide is slightly harder than aluminum
oxide and I think it will work just fine.
