Finishing Aluminium
Hi Guys
I am profiling a bracket shape out of 12 thk aluminium. Got as far as the rough profile with a jig saw and a bit of chain drilling and will dress it to shape with a file next. The question is, how do I get a decent finish on this? The edges will need tidying as will some scratches that were already present in the metal surface. Is this a job for ever increasing grit sand paper? How do I achieve a polished finish if that isn't asking the obvious? Thanks Phil -- ----Android NewsGroup Reader---- http://usenet.sinaapp.com/ |
