Polishing A Turntable Platter - Acoustic Research XA/XB

Polishing a turntable platter with a bench grinder that's been converted to a polisher with abrasive wheels. I think the whole process took me about 90 minutes this time round.
Even if you're just looking to polish up your platter edge I think this is a fantastic way to do it.

I got these polishing wheels from my uncle but I had a quick google and there seem to be many online shops to buy them from. I didn't see them readily available though at local hardware chains here in Australia, more on specialized online stores.

Отдаёшь токарю. Он на большом станке делает по краю насечку. Получается как в оригинале. Остальное можно обычным автотрезаком зачистить. Вернее сначала трезаком, потом край токаркой.

Hey mate, now this is a great video! thanks for all the info. I have a question regarding my Technics sl120 mk1 platter. Its all aluminium platter with small groves in the middle. Would the polish wheel be too strong for the platter? I dont want to accidentally remove any metal. Happy to send you photos. Thanks mate.

Thank you 🙏 these rag wheels I use are quite soft which is good because it's slow and steady so I imagine they would work well. Is your platter just dull or does it have chips and scratches?
