Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Inconsistent pressure during abrading/polishingMaintain steady and even pressure across the entire surface for a uniform finish.
Using inappropriate grit or polish for the desired finishSelect abrasive grit sizes and polishing compounds carefully based on the intended surface roughness and final appearance.

Common Applications

  • Surface preparation for plating or coating
  • Achieving mirror-like finishes on components
  • Deburring and edge conditioning

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including safety glasses and gloves when handling and processing aluminum.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when performing grinding or polishing operations to avoid inhalation of aluminum dust.
