Turning Tips

Poly Resin machines beautifully but is slightly more brittle than acrylic acetate or Alumilite. Following proper turning techniques will produce outstanding results.

• Use sharp carbide or high-speed steel tools
• Take light, controlled cuts rather than heavy passes
• Proper cutting produces continuous ribbons instead of chips
• If minor pitting develops, leave the blank slightly oversized and remove it during sanding
• Deep pits can be filled with thick CA glue, then re-turned flush

For a professional finish:

• Sand progressively through 600 grit
• Continue polishing with Micro-Mesh or a quality plastic polishing system
• Wet sanding often produces the finest results
• Finish with a plastic polish for an exceptional mirror-like gloss
• No friction finish is required
