Bogstandard:
What you really need Matt is one product that gives the right finish every time.

Maybe this one will do all the jobs you have in mind.

Bogs, that a one step polish?

Well I have enough stuff to get started.

These are the scrap pieces for trial #1


I'm starting off with a deburring in the Rotary tumbler.

This batch consists of

8 cups of 3/8" Course Ceramic Media
4 cups of water
1 oz of Simple Green
1 oz of Nu Finish



All in a 1gal jug



And on the rollers



I haven't decided how long I'm going to let this first stage go. I'm going to check them in 3hours.

Ya its really tough to depict to results to you guys with the camara I got. I guess in the end, If you can see the camara in the reflection of the part, it was a success :beer:


Any pointers on taking better pics?

This first test, I want to see how different shape/size parts work together. Some one say building a model engine, would only have 1 or 2 same shape part at a time, but would have a batch of parts of the same material.

Before


After 3hours in first mixture.



I'm happy with the results. Saw burrs are gone, corners are intact, and the have a very nice gun metal finish


Now for the second mixture

I'll use the same amount of media, but a medium ceramic
only 2 cups of water this time
3 oz of the nu finish
1 oz of simple green

I'm think 3 more hours
