Roller Burnishing Aluminium

[DaveH]

Hi Rick,

I'm glad you found me, I was just lost but found again.

I'm still very interested in this burnishing idea.
I had one go on some ally 2" diameter using an 8mm wide bearing, all I can say is the results were outstandingly rubbish. The problem now I realise is too slow, I was doing it at 100 to 500 rpm.

Also my thoughts (no idea why) were the 8mm wide bearing was too wide and it may be better with something like a 4mm wide bearing.

Also I thought it would and should looked polished

Any more views Rick
