roller burnishing

(OP)
The ancient clock makers process of 'roller burnishing' appears to be making a bit of a come-back as a low cost way of creating a good surface finish together with some superficial work-hardening of the work piece.

Does anyone know if the process is as effective as it claims to be and how one might inspect and verify that a supplier has achieved the appropriate level of quality ?

RE: roller burnishing

Here is just one of several companies that make roller burnishing tools.  This is tried and proven process when applied to an amendable problem with  finishing.  It is not a cure all for poor machining practices.
