Tips for Success

Drilling & Turning

Use sharp drill bits and turning tools, and take light, controlled cuts. Clear drilling chips frequently to reduce heat buildup.

Sanding & Polishing

Work progressively through fine sanding grits or Micro-Mesh, then finish with a quality plastic or resin polishing compound to reveal the rich colors and beautiful marbled patterns.

Threading

Alumilite is well suited for threading. For best results, use sharp, properly sized taps and dies and work carefully to produce clean, smooth threads.
