Polishing (metalworking)
Polishing and
buffing are
finishing processes for smoothing a workpiece's surface using an abrasive and a work wheel or a leather
strop. Technically
polishing refers to processes that use an abrasive that is glued to the work wheel, while
buffing uses a loose abrasive applied to the work wheel. Polishing is a more aggressive process while buffing is less harsh, which leads to a smoother, brighter finish. A common misconception is that a polished surface has a mirror bright finish, however most mirror bright finishes are actually buffed.
