3 Steel Finishes in Under a Minute

SUBSCRIBE Steel finishes have come a long way with dies, stains and plating that can be done in the home shop. But they all start with the same foundation. Before you apply a finish its important to consider the base metal finish. There are three basic approaches to steel finishing and they are orbital sander, buffing wheel or wire wheel. I hope this quick video gives you guys some ideaas for your own diy projects.
SUBSCRIBE I picked up an old filing cabinet off of Craigslist today and turned it into a cheap standing desk for the shop. I was going for some mid century modern lines and I think I ended up with an adaptation of that style. This will hold the computer screen that operates the cnc plasma table which you can find on my channel.

I really like the 2nd technique , i like it better then when its finished all of the way , i'm going to try to spray clear coat over it.
Is there a name for the 2nd technique?
Thanks

[@timgalic100]

what grit was the 2nd grind method? (the sanding wheel thing?)

[@MakerTable]

I can't remember what grit it was on the flap disc in this video but I would recommend starting with an 80 grit.

I have a question first time dealing with stainless steel and i wire brushed a Stainless steel bbq pit Lid with a steel wire rush and the next day i saw that rust was appearing and i heavily scratched it with the wire wheel, can this be fixable? I was told to maybe use a stainless steel wire wheel too see if it works? Please help!

[@MakerTable]

Yeah this is a classic mistake contaminating stainless with ferrous metal. I'm not sure of a quick fix but I know you could sand the whole thing down and put a new linear finish on it but you would need a burnishing wheel to do it.

[@andreashenriksen1485]

Sounds like the wire wheel has been contaminated by being used on "normal steel" (ferrous metal). At my work we have to go outside if we need to grind anything that isn't stainless steel, for example a chisel. If we don't - then all of our products made from stainless will be contaminated and eventually rust. We even get rid of the grinding disc we used, to make sure it doesn't get used on anything else.
