Mags - Safety Issue?

[obsession]

nothing is easy to polish. Take a rim say 10kg max and hold it on a buff at 4500rpm and slip and you stuff the rim, too much pressure and you burn it, too hard and you catch the buff cloth and it rips otta your hand most polishers have arms like gorillas.
And there is a multitude of different types of polish finishes Its physically demanding and a very underestimated profession.

The metal finishing and electroplating industries in Australia are the only industries that have regressed in pricing so much that soon there wont be any.

sorry gotta get off my soap box.

[obsession]

yes BUT as you probably know they are a two pce wheel the center 5 spoke is polished alloy the rim is plain chrome plated you cant machine polish the chrome rim. You can have them taken apart and the get the rims re chromed and centers polished the put back together.
