@box185 - at present, as you can see on our website, the MFT Aligned components are shipped "as machined" with no anodizing. We wrestrled with that decision and decided in favor of lower cost for the customer - pending customer response - like yours.
We coould not see a compelling reason / benefit for the added cost since the parts don't come in regular contact with wood or the user.
Help us with your feeback, please.
thank you
