Finishing a Stainless Steel Handrail

Paul Gray, Application Engineer for Saint-Gobain Abrasives demonstrates how to finish stainless steel by imparting a type 2 matte finish on this stainless steel handrail. Finishing stainless steel after welding is an important step; blending out scratches and imperfections before it can used in any commercial setting. With the Norton Rapid Prep flap disc, a Norton R929 ceramic belt and a Norton Rapid Prep belt in medium grade, Paul removes the tig weld, surface blemishes and thermal damage left behind by the welding process and creates a high quality, anti-fingerprint finish.
