Re: [TCML] Polishing Metal (ie Brass) after machining . . .



Hi Ed,
Yes, thanks! I forgot to mention that. Always use the paper wet. It cuts finer and less scratches and the paper lasts longer. An automotive parts supply is the best and usually cheapest place to find the stuff.

i use 400 wet/ dry sandpaper and sand the entire surface of the shape to be polished. It is slow and a lot of work. You will find the paper goes "soft" after a bit and will not cut as fast. Makes it like using a finer paper in the final stages."

   Sanding wet of course!
