Tool for mirror finish?

[Taqtaq]

Does anybody know of a tool that can be used to finish sheets of aeb-l to a mirror finish?

We've done a few like this by hand but, hand sanding to 2000 grit before buffing is time consuming.

Yeah , look into a centrifugal tumbler to do it fast, or a vibratory tumbler like a mr deburr to do it slower but still takes the man hours out of it!

Interesting, I've got a thumblers tumbler that I've always used for reloading. I use stainless pins.
Should I be looking at different media?

That's not near big enough .. You need industrial size so you get the weight and energy needed to actually polish It's typically done in several steps, the first being the grey ceramic media to cut the grind lines down. You would need a flow through system too, with the right solution for the aeb-l. My suggestion is to get a good tumbler from a reputable manufacturer who will work with you to determine the correct media and solution.

That's why hand made knives are expensive.
