Not sure if I like your tone?
Oscar Myer does it all the time.
I did copy that info and paste here so let me rewrite it so it’s more specific to this topic.
The current will be removing one or more of the metals from each piece.
Aluminum has other components like tin and zinc, does this sound a lot like bologna?

The parts you see in this picture with the pennies come in batches of 500 pcs
The one on the left has been tumbled, if that is your definition of finished, (or close) then it’s done. The company making them tried everything they could to avoid paying me to polish them, but they couldn’t get close.

There is no substitute for fine craftsmanship. These parts were carefully sanded and polished with no soft corners where they are supposed to be sharp and without pulling holes or corners. I do it with those Makita’s secured to the edge of a bench.
If there is a better way, I want to know too!
