abstract = {{Recently, a new Electropolishing (EP) facility was con-structed and commissioned at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beam (FRIB) with the purpose of supporting advanced surface processing techniques for SRF R&D activities. The FRIB production cavities opted for a Buffered Chemical Polish (BCP) method due to its cost effectiveness and was supported by successful outcomes in other facilities with low beta cavities in a similar frequency range. All 324 cavities used in FRIB Linac were processed in-house at MSU using BCP and exhibited satisfactory performance during testing. As part of the FRIB energy upgrade R&D, 5-cell 644 MHz elliptical resonators will be employed, desiring the use of EP and advanced techniques such as nitrogen doping and medium-T baking. The EP facility is designed to accommodate all types of cavities used in FRIB and possesses the capability for performing EP at low temperatures. Here we report the details of design and commissioning of the EP facility, highlights of encountered issues and subsequent improvements, and preliminary results from vertical tests conducted on the cavities.}},
