    It's not that polishing is hard to do, it's just a bit time consuming. A ten dollar an hour guy can put a great mirror on aluminum all day long it's just that it's not really going to hold up well. You've seen cement tanker trucks, the two big tanks, those are aluminum. Most of the time they...

    For sure, go try to scratch a chrome truck bumper, it's like that only even tougher and deeper looking, father in that direction than chrome, which is a world of difference away from any polished material, brass, aluminum, copper, etc, that you'd call a fingerprint magnet. That's one of the...

    Polished aluminum it's a fingerprint magnet, nickel plateing is a whole nother level. It doesn't scratch like aluminum either, it's a lot different, it looks significantly better, but it's also much much more durable. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    No worries, I haven't had a chance to talk to the plating guy yet buy I believe it's polished, copper plated, chrome plated then nickel plated, I may be missing a couple other steps but it's something like that. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    NICKEL PLATED MODS ONE RUN ONLY So I am having a batch of mods Nickel Plated. Nickel playing is often sen in high end firearms. It's very similar to chrome plating, it's exactly how a chrome bumper of a truck is made. It's gong to be by far the toughest finish available. It's super hard, and...

    Sweet, it landed!! You see what I was talking about... When I was building this mod, it was the first time I had worked with this particular inlay material, and the more aggressive I got with it the better it looked. I told Doffy I was going to polish it up more than we had originally planned...

    Thanks @turbocad6 ! I'm just getting the 440 set up. Building an enclosure, the same coolant system the big mill has on it (it's really killer, it has to be for the deep holes) The 440 will have a sub-plate mounted to the table that will quick change/locate different fixture plates, but it will...
