This beauty is our Part of the Week. Let's take a look!

 

## WHAT'S THIS?

Here's an example of putting a **flawless mirror finish** on a **machined aluminum part**.

We can see who the fairest of all is here, and we aren't even wearing our glasses!

## THAT'S COOL!

Many times folks see something super shiny and think it must be plated. Maybe chrome plated, maybe bright nickel. But probably plated.

But here is a great example of what **precision polishing and buffing** can accomplish. This nose cone holds a **perfect mirror finish with no plating**.

Beautiful! And ready to pack and ship to the customer.

ABOUT POW!

Each week we will feature something we've been working on. We hope you'll find these posts informative.
