Hi all,
I make a part out of 1/4 x 1 aluminum flat and I have been using "synthetic" steel wool to give the parts a shine, de-burr the edges, and take the factory-applied black printing off. Since this is sort of a slow dirty messy pain, I'd like to find a quicker way of getting it done.
Has anyone used walnut shells on aluminum? What kind of finish can I expect? Does it de-burr machined edges? It's a very light burr - nothing nasty. Will it take off the black factory markings?
Would a different media be better?
Thanks in advance,
Scott
