Keith, NO question is stupid if you need to know. Engine turning is best done
on a drill press, use those small round sanding discs that are made for die
grinders. You can set up a straight edge to guide you, if it is straight, and
just swirl overlapping by 1/2 the dia. It is easy and I think it looks great!

Hey guys speaking of metal.... how was the old Engine turned aluminum or
stainless actually done?
what did they use to create the swirls? and how do you think they indexed
it to get the patterns right?
I know it sounds like a stupid question.... but I honestly don't know and
it was used a bunch on older cars and I even seem to remember some old
Bonneville cars with Engine turned stuff on them.....
Just an odd ball question
Keith...
