A Cibo Time Saving Kit contains all the products and information you need to complete your desired process. There are 3 kits for satin finishing and 3 for mirror polishing. See all kits here.
Sand down the welded joints using Cibo’s unitised discs.
Coat the felt disc in pink polishing compound and use to polish your workpiece.
Clean up using and remove residue using vienna chalk.
Read on for helpful tips and in-depth information regarding the TSK05 process. All of the below steps can be followed when working on both inner box and inner tube sections.
Firstly, attach the MA/8/T30 unitised disc to your Finit-Easy machine and set to 3000 RPM.
Dress the new unitised sanding disc against an abrasive file with attached grip strip before first use. This allows the three dimensional abrasive structure to be used at it’s optimum ability.
Abrasive tip: To avoid the Finit Easy protective guard from preventing you reaching the inner corner of your workpiece, use a click and slide movement to lock it into a suitable position.
Using the MA/8/T30 disc, sand down the welded joint in the direction of the final finish. Continue until the stainless steel is smooth and the joint is no longer visible.
Replace your current unitised disc with SA/5/T31. By moving this disc along the weld, you can blend the sanding pattern left by the MA/8 disc.
To remove the weld discolouration, move the SA/5 disc away from the inner corner and back again. The flexibility of the disc reduces the risk of undercutting during this step.
Once satisfied with this result, repeat the process on the opposite side of the inner joint.
Attach the MHV5600/T31 felt disc on to your Finit-Easy machine. The optimum grinding speed for this step is around 2000 RPM.
Hold the disc against the PV/102 pink polishing compound and let it rotate until the edge of the disc is coated in polish.
Move the felt disc over the welded joint in a backwards-forwards motion to the edge of your workpiece until you are happy with the result.
Easily remove any residue left by the polishing compound by using a sprinkling of PV/103 vienna chalk in combination with a soft microfibre cloth.
The chalk will de-grease your workpiece and unveil the mirror polish finish without scratching your workpiece.
All of the essential products you need for the mirror polish process are inside the box;
