Chipenter. Excellent site, i watched the video that machine and what it produces is truly wonderful. Fcheslop Nice job you done.. did you polish the aluminum plate first before you etched it and what RPM did you go? Arbalist. i will try that thanks... Bronxfigs That's exactly what i was looking for, i was using a pencil eraser and was working ok but was too small a diameter, this product is an actual abrasive just the ticket. to all: I get the pressure applied over the same amount of time but still clueless on the speed of the spindle. Thanks to all Anthony. |

Here is a project that I did a few years ago. I used a leather disk glued to the end of a piece of 3/4" round stock. One end was turned to 3/8" to fit in a small drill press. The other end was counter bored to ensure that the leather pad would not "walk" during use. The abrasive I used was fine grade valve grinding compound. |

Hi, the base was simply cleaned up using 600 grit wet n dry to remove any marks. The rod is 1inch dia and ran the mill at about 800 rpm. The pattern is just the simple four spot then over lapped exactly 1/2 the dia The polishing rod had some 800 grit wet n dry simply super glued onto it. Keep the plate well flooded I use WD40 or Duck oil Its a slow boring job :bang: cheers |
