Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect abrasive media that can scratch or damage the polished surface.Always use abrasive media specifically rated for stainless steel or the desired finish, progressing from coarser to finer grits.
Inadequate cleaning before and after polishing, leading to contamination.Thoroughly clean the surface with a degreaser and a lint-free cloth before and after polishing to prevent imperfections.

Common Applications

  • Surface preparation for plating or coating
  • Custom fabrication of polishing jigs and fixtures
  • Industrial deburring and edge finishing

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses and gloves, when handling and working with metal sheets.
  • Ensure adequate ventilation when performing grinding or polishing operations to avoid inhalation of metal dust.
