Polishing D-2 Tool Steel Rollers?
Polishing D-2 Tool Steel Rollers?
(OP)
I have some sheet metal rollers that are D-2 and hardened. These rollers are probably at least 20 years old and are in need of some maintenance. They are pitted and have scratches. What would you guys recommend for polishing hardened rollers? Would I have to get some kind of compound or would 400 grit sand paper and some lubricating oil while finishing it with some scotch brite work out?

If you just need to clean them I would start with 320g wet and work to finer as you get it cleaned up.

'Machining' via sandpaper using your hands will not result in consistent final dimensions. Turning and machine polishing will.

Pay to have them ground properly, like they were made in the first place.
