Does anyone know a website that shows photographs of turned aluminum
along with specifications?

I have a requirement for a cylindrical part but I don't know how to
call-out surface smoothness. I'm only interested in a mechanical
treatment. I want a "shiny" finish but not a diamond-turned mirror
finish. Is "shiny" an appropriate call-out to a machinist?






No
You need to call out a max Ra or Rz and a feed. an Ra of .8 max should be
sufficient. (Metric)
