  • Bubba made barrel polishing work!!!
    • Upon receiving electrode form machine shop, he had to use a file to remove deep markins
    • Then he used 320 grit sand paper
    • And finally, used 70% barrel full with corncob, and let the ball bounce for ~20 hours.
    • By polishing a small section with diamond paste (1 micron) he concluded that the finish is equivalent to that he obtains with DPP.
    • Next, polish shed! Bubba has a recipe from Mass Finishing for using first plastic cones in the tumbler, instead of the 320 grit sand paper...curious minds await
