Honing Aluminum Tube
I need to put a smooth finish on the inside of some aluminum tube. 1"
ID smallest - 2" ID biggest. Same application different sizes. If it was steel or cast iron I would just run a brake hone or cylinder hone down it, but I think the stones would just pack up with aluminum if I tried that with this. It doesn't need to be precise, just smooth. I want to round off the weld seam (not to bad to begin with) and make it fairly shiny inside. Flap wheels? Buffing wheel with a "course" substitute for rouge? Other? |
