Hey everyone,
I have a DeWalt 7-9 variable speed grinder/ polisher. I have Kirby's red and white polishing compound. I use regular buffing pad I can get mirror finish I need. I was wondering how to get deep cuts and gouges in aluminum. I was thinking sandpaper 200-400-800-2000. I think this might work but on a 8 inch wheel or would a palm sander be more effective. If not sandpaper any one else have anything else they use. Thanks. |

I wouldn't use any electric machine for removing deep gouges. They are quite hard to control, and if you're not careful, you can make it worse. I wouldn't use anything less than 400 grit for that, 1000 should be fine. Some gouges won't come out though, and you just have to live with that.
Hope this helps! -Adin |
