  7. Surface finishing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_finishing

    A #7 finish is produced by polishing with a 280–320 grit belt or wheel and sisal buffing with a cut and color compound. This is a semi-bright finish that will still have some polishing lines but they will be very dull. Carbon steel and iron are commonly polished to a #7 finish before chrome plating.
