Finish

In engineering and manufacturing, "finish" refers to the surface quality of a product, including its smoothness, texture, and appearance. It involves processes like polishing, sanding, or coating to improve the surface after shaping or machining. A good finish can enhance a product’s durability, functionality, and visual appeal, while reducing factors like friction or corrosion. The level of finish is often specified with standards to ensure uniformity and quality, depending on the intended use of the part or product. In essence, finish is about making a surface suitable for its purpose and appearance.
