    Tumbling aluminum parts, bad finish...

    I got a real good price so I'm not bitching, and he's buying new media and stuff for his tumbler. But for these parts I need to do something before I can use them.

    Tumbling aluminum parts, bad finish...

    Thanks for the posts. I appreciate the feedback. Honestly, though. I have only 1000 of these parts. There is no way to just dump these in a bucket with diluted muriatic acid, then rinse? Isn't muriatic acid what is used to clean aluminum? I said by hand, but I only meant no machine. There has to...

    Tumbling aluminum parts, bad finish...

    I am not a mfg of aluminum parts. I have no equipment to tumble or or vibrate... I had those parts made for me. They are unusable. I need to know how to clean them by hand. Should I use muratic acid? Is there something better?

    Tumbling aluminum parts, bad finish...

    Got a batch of small parts made from 6161. They were tumbled. I need to know how I can make these brighter like the ones on the left.

    6mm x 13.75mm bearing in laser gantry.

    The image is of my universal laser. I can get the parts from them, but they are really expensive. Like $18.00 each... I can get the bearings for $0.25 each, so I'm having a little trouble swallowing the $17.75 for an injection molded wheel... Not sure what you mean by the concave/convex thing...

    6mm x 13.75mm bearing in laser gantry.

    Here are some images that may be helpful. The top image is a similar part from one of my lasers. The image below is a closeup of what I'm trying to do. The image below is the final goal. Any help? Please post. Thanks, Jim

    6mm x 13.75mm bearing in laser gantry.

    Let me try this again. It's not just a bearing, but an injection molded part. Best description is it's a plastic wheel that rides in a grove. The wheel fits over a bearing. I was able to find them online, but they are very expensive. Thanks but the links provided are just for the bearings.

    6mm x 13.75mm bearing in laser gantry.

    I have some ULS M300 lasers. They use a wheel on the bearings that ride inside a 5.5mm grove. The dims are 6mm x 13.75mm. I'm building a linear slide table from miniature "T-slots" equivalent and want to find a source for these bearings. Trouble is I can't get through the noise with google. I...
