Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect abrasive grit progression.Follow a systematic grit progression, starting with coarser grits and progressively moving to finer grits for a smooth finish.
Overheating the aluminum during aggressive polishing.Utilize cooling techniques such as lubrication or intermittent polishing to prevent material degradation and discoloration.

Common Applications

  • Surface preparation for anodizing
  • Mirror-finish components
  • High-gloss decorative panels

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to prevent scratching the surface before intended use.
  • Always use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when abrading or polishing.
