The big anti-hijack thread.....
Talk about anything, but if this works than we don't have to keep looking around all the threads to see who is still on tonight, and every night, or even every day! Talk about the chiefs, talk about tomorrow, talk about football, politics or even how to do flooring and the applicable budget. What you're drinking, how hard it is to sleep, etc. Every thing is acceptable in this thread.....
Specifically toward polishing beryllium spheres, it seems that if you want to polish very hard metals, such as beryllium, cryogenic treatment helps reduce the standard deviation of hardness. However, best practices would dictate that you polish them between copper v-grooves with a <1um diamond slurry, perferably oil based. Best finish would be with 0.25um mono, or poly crystal diamond. The v-groove depth should be one third the diameter of the sphere (in your case, about 0.026" deep for a 2mm ball).
I am trying to make it a "Sober 2007" I'm successfully eight days through it. AND sitting on this board late night is giving me the pavlovian urge for a St. Pauli Girl.
If you have one in a metal alloy bottle that's been hardened using beryllium I'd say go for it.

Dude, it's the off-season. How f**king cool would it be if ChiefsPlanet of all things was ranked #1 in Google when you searched for something highly technical and esoteric like "beryllium sphere"?
You know that would leave a world full of nerds scratching their heads.
