No, a bench grinder. They have the grinding wheels, but you can change them to buffing wheels. You can also buy a pad to put on your angle grinder. If its got very deep machining lines, you will wnat to sand it with a fine grit paper, other wise it takes forever.
I always polish my pipes, they look alot better.

polishing aluminum
crocus cloth can be bought in long strips, it's SUPER fine and would be good for taking moderate 'brush' lines out of aluminum, then follow up with a cloth and compound polish.
unless you DO have a 4" angle grinder, then you could probably get the same job done in 1/10th the time and effort. BUT, a polished surface will lead you to very **** behaviors... I stripped my paintball gun barrel of black anodize, then super-polished it and had it clear anodized. I was CONSTANTLY shining it with my shirt, disassembling and washing, etc... It drove me nuts to see marks or fingerprints on it. Un-anodized, polished aluminum is a very fragile surface, you'll see little blems and grease marks really easily.
