I can't speak for everyone else, but in the original post you kinda came off like a kid who heard it was good to polish the rods, so you got out the dremel and some rubbing compound and went to town.

I still stand by my previous post because I do not believe you have the tools to balance the rods when you are done polishing them, that you take them to a machine shop and have them rebalanced.

We're going to start banning if I have to clean up more threads like I just did. Keep the name calling out of it and just make a remark. You all are acting like a bunch of sniveling children.

With that said, the rod modification is totally viable. By removing material so that the surface is level, any scratches/gouges that could become stress risers are eliminated. With that said however, I would hope that the author of this post is familiar with the die grinder and can properly use it as well as selecting the proper grit matrix.

just to give you some insite guys i did research this before i started polishing . i talked to endyne and they explained how the process is done. i also inquired w/ some machine shops and they wanted too much to perform this opperation. polishing is not hard and as long as you keep the grinding motion up and down the beam and not across it you wont compromise the integrity of the rod.as far as balanceing goes ill be doing that as well .the machine shop showed me where they remove material when balanceing. i have a scale that will allow me to accurately do this.( it looks nothing like the one you get on to see if your subway diet is working) so im not just some punk kid trying to make my rods look all BLING BLING.
