How to Achieve Mirror Polished Handrails
The Suhner Tube Polishing machines (UTC9R, ATC7, UTG8R or UTG9R) are capable of taking a weld or marked stainless or aluminium handrail from grinding to mirror polished without the need for any mops or any other type of machine.
To achieve a mirror polished finish, simply follow these steps with the correct belt size for your tool:
- 1 - 80g to grind the tip of the weld down to the material surface
- 2 - TZA160 (120g) to get a smooth, even surface
- 3 - TZA65 (280g)
- 4 - TZA30 (600g)
- 5 - Tza16 (1200g)
- 6 - BSGBFW yellow belt with blue infinity paste applied
Remove swarf as you go and keep the tube reasonably cool.Do not overwork the area you are grinding
