I have some 40mm x 40mm steel angle.
I want to have a industrial sort of rough/polished finish on the pieces.
I ran over them with a 80 grit flap disc and was suprised on how much of a mirror finished it produced.
I thought id give it a little more polishing so got my Mirka orbital sander out with first a 120 and then a 180 grit, give the piece a blast over with it.
But just made it a satin finish? Any mirror like finished just disapeared? I thought from a shiny 80 grit finish to 180 grit it would buff it more up?
