Polishing/Buffing thin stainless sheet stock
I have some stainless steel sheet stock in 0.001" and 0.003" thicknesses. I need to buff one surface only, down to a mirror finish (about 1 micro-inch RA or better). I have tried electro-polishing, however this leaves pitting on the surface that I can't afford to have on my parts.
What I'd really like is a service provider who can handle short runs of parts, say 5 to 10 12" square sheets per run. I've had fair success hand polishing some small coupons with some metal polishing compound, but this gets old quickly... Any suggestions?

Re: Polishing/Buffing thin stainless sheet stock
Stuff that thin is going to shrink in spots when it gets hot and warp. You cannot get it hot. Maybe hand polishing is the only way.
