Using a Miller to Polish / Linish

Using a Miller to Polish / Linish

Using a Miller to Polish / Linish

(OP)
Hello

My company is set to buy a Butler TE3000 Bed Mill

I would like some information on possibly using this machine to 'surface finish' using this machnine aswell as to cut metal / drill metal.

What I am thinking of, is a method of replacing cosmetic surface finish we acheive with a belt sander / linisher with some sort of attachment for the Butler Elga Mill.

We send out to a subcontractor for this as they have a big automated belt sander / linisher (est £35k for us to get one)

I had in my mind a 'polishing mop' like we can get for using with hand drills.

Do they exist for Mills ??

Any offers or advice
TIA
