Ti is so dumb…

This is after it’s been hit in a grey scotch brite wheel to take off the CNC machine marks. I don’t this the poorest nature of the wheel is conducive for a clean finish on titanium. This is my first time working with titanium, as I usually work with various deals and a polish just fine using a mirror out of air wave wheels with different levels of cutting, color buffing and polishing compounds. But after the grey buffing wheel is used I have to hit this think with some 400 grit on a little block to get rid of the smudgey finish the grey wheel leaves. I’ve tried to use a super fine shanking belt and it was too aggressions I lost for the parameter grove.

I’ve read online that titanium is a bitch in general to polish… so i was prepared for the suck. It’s worth it in the end.

I’ll post some progress pics in the comments.

I know I’m pretty new to polishing Ti and there’s probably some techniques I don’t even know about. So please, if you have any constructive criticism and tips for success, I’m all ears.
