"What If I Want To Get Something Polished?" |
Metal Polishing Finishes |
There are many finishes of which the following is a selection. Linished. This is a finish directly from a belt and is sometimes called a scratch finish. Satin. This is far finer scratch and leaves a bright finish but not capable of showing a reflection. Bright. This gives a polished finish which shows a reflection, but unless the scratches or marks in the metal are light, they may still be seen in the metal. Mirror. This as it suggests is trying to make the metal look like a mirror. All but the deepest of scratches or marks are taken out and even those are shallowed out considerably. |
What types of metal |
Most metals are capable of being polished or wet bead blasted, so that the following is just an example. Aluminium extrusion, aluminium castings, brass, bronze, copper, cast iron, mild steel, stainless steel, mazak, alloy and so on. Having said that, there are variations of certain metals that are completely non-polishable, and so it is only when we can do a sample of a component that we can find out how good a finish it will take. |
Contact us, and where possible arrange to bring your work in where we can find out what you want done and do a sample finish. |

Wet Bead Blasting |
Wet Bead blasting is capable of giving a very clean looking, fine satin finish, getting into areas not normally possible with conventional polishing. At the same time it is also degreasing, and because we mainly use glass beads, it is not altering any dimensions or impregnating media into the component. Due to the size of the cabinet, the likes of a motor bike engine would have to be stripped down, which would also result in a better finish. |

Motor bike parts, engine parts, door furniture, car parts, bells, alloy wheels, boat accessories, hinges, shop fittings, architectural ironmongery. These are just an selection of various items. What we'e going to polish is up to you ! |
