recently bought a bench polisher / grinder to try and give some metal polishing a go
my very first attempt with 5 mins work got this deore xt crank looking nice
left side polished right side not photos don't do it justice but think brand new chromed metal / mirror finish
anyone need anything doing
one thing i was slightly worried about ... the heat generated by the polishing, could this weaken the metal in any way, i'm not getting to 300C but any heating will cause excitement in the electrons, not sure if in a good way or a bad way
