I am wondering if anyone has a detailed/scientific method for polishing stainless steel, or any other metal for that matter. What I'm wondering is if anyone is actually measuring the surface roughness of a part in order to decide what grit to start with and/or sanding/lapping to a specific surface roughness and know what grit to end up at.
Obviously trial and error could tell me this info, but for the parts I am wanting to do this on they would need to be destroyed to measure the surface roughness and they aren't the cheapest so I'd like to speed up the learning curve lol
Any insight would be appreciated! Thank you,
