Polishing

Polishing

Polishing aluminium prior to final finishing is a re-requisite for a good finish

But polishing can only enhance the basic aluminium extrusion to enable us to achieve the correct finish we must first start with a high quality extrusion which invariable costs more, however because polishing and finishing are expensive operations the high initial costs are worth it.

Polishing at Snelsons involves the use of Automatic flat bed polishing machines and operated spindles

We currently have 4 of the auto machines running plus another 1 which we use for spares.. These machines are critical to all Polishers and Anodisers as without them quality and through put would suffer

All companies in the polishing and anodising business who are serious about quality use the same equipment. The machines cost in excess of £50,000 and you can wait up to 6months for a new one.
