The Hobby-machinist Die Filer

[Bill Gruby]

No magic formula that I am aware of Mark. I lay out a couple of rows on paper the get the numbers. Trial and error.

That is really beautiful , Bill and it is going to make the die filer look great.

 

[Bill Gruby]

That's it, 7 hours on and off. I'm tired. Not quite what I was after but better than before. It's a keeper.

A work of art Bill. Will it take much to damage the looks?

 

[Bill Gruby]

Right now Charles it wouldn't take a lot to damage it. After Anodizing though it should stand up well. Thank you all for the kind words.

This is amazing. Thanks for sharing this technique. I will have a lot more respect for the craftsman/Artist the next time I see this type of finish on a part.
