It took 2 - 3 weeks to complete 2 double cavity molds. We would start with a die grinder to get the rough spots and blend the parting lines. Then go to sandpaper by hand. Then a buffing pad on a die grinder til it shined.
WOW, that type of steel is tougher than most tool steels due to the shock load properties. I would have assumed it would take longer to polish out the tool marks. You weren't wasting time on that project. Probably a dirty one as well.
Thank for your reply. I hope you have a great day.
You learn a lot of short cuts along the way. I use to tell many of the apprentices " I may not know the trade that well but I sure know a lot of the tricks of the trade." Some of those tricks made me look real good at a few jobs along the way.
