Perfect Cheers
Looks good!
How long did it take to polish ?
Machining marks were really bad.
Evo bodies were 3D machined using a ball endmill and a million passes. that type of surface is normal for 3D machine parts.
the smoother you want it the more money it costs in machine time.
vibratory tumbling will take that right off with little effort. I leave finish work up to your anodizer of choice.
Actually only takes a few minutes, aluminium polishes up real easy, just need to use a decent grade of polish on the mop wheel for the rough then normal polish for the mirror finish.
You can use a bit of 240 grit emory cloth before hand to get in the nooks and crannys to speed up on polishing time.
Machine lines are standard in 3d machining and XMT has done a good job, a lot better compared to some of the stuff I've had to deal with over the years, I've delt with a lot worse.
A local polisher should charge you about $20 to polish up a body in my opinion
Try Google thats how I found my local polisher
I'll let you know how much it costs me.
The more detailed the body, the worse it gets. Polishing keeps me out of more jeweling and ano. It tends to be underrated as prep work and consumes a lot of time. There's a local dragon Timmy that met a hard machine polish; on one side you can see the barrel threads in the body, from the outside.
$125 wowsers
My polisher charges me as little as £35 For a full marker!
I'd shop around!
Mine will be out of anno tomorrow I'll. Post up some pics
What color is that? Gunmetal?
No black it's not a very good picture ill get some better ones
The light is reflecting off the blue blackdrop, making the gloss black pick up the colour. Always use a neutral colour as a backdrop so it doesn't "corrupt" the pictures.
Once you go black....
