I am not very comfortable with having any abrasives near my CNC's. If bead blasting might work, you may want to consider vibratory finishing. Here is a link with an overview: http://www.kramerindustriesonline.com/vibratory-finishing-systems.htm I kind of like the idea of dumping a load of parts, turn the machine on and go away for a while. It may not be that easy though. How about a swirl finish? http://www.lathes.co.uk/craftsman/img16.gif http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:LindberghStLouis.jpg ------------ Kirk http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
