Silicon Carbide Tumbling Grits
A man made abrasive that is hard enough to grind and sand even the toughest rocks and minerals including agate. The Silicon Carbide is available in three grit ranges for progressive smoothing of the stone to its prepolished finish. The 60/90 Grit is used for aggressive grinding and shaping of the work pieces, the 120/220 Grit is used to sand and smooth and the 500/600 Grit is used to achieve the prepolished finish. All these Silicon Carbide Grits are used with water.

Plastic Tumbling Pellets
Used as a filler to properly load the tumbler. Also used to cushion the load when tumbling delicate materials in the polishing steps. Carries abrasive fines to every part of the load. Pellets separate from the load in seconds by floating. Three pounds is enough for a 10 pound load.

Alumina G Polishing Compounds
Rock polishing compound. A special polishing agent for polishing stones in a tumbler or on a vibrating lap machine. Clean, non-staining and fast acting.

P7 Plastic Tumbling Media
Tetrahedron shape 5/8 L x 5/8 W, provides a finer finish than the deburring media. The plastic is impregnated with a fine silica grit to give a smooth finish. Best for precious metal or custom jewelry finishing where particles of Aluminum Oxide would interfere with soldering. This media is also excellent for removing discoloration caused by annealing operations on steel and stainless steel.
|
P6 Plastic Tumbling Media
Tetrahedron shape 5/8 L x 5/8 W, this media is used in place of the P7, when a less aggressive sanding action is required. It is made with a lower concentration of silica which reduces the loss of precious metal. Use at extremely low speed. Ideally suited for non-ferrous metals.
|
Burnishing Soap
The ideal additive to provide a burnished look to finished pieces. The soap works by providing lubrication and protection against rust and tarnish formation. Sold in powder form and used by mixing 4 oz. of soap per gallon of water. Can be used periodically to flow thru systems. Available in 1, 5 and 90 pound packages.
|
Ceramic Cylinders
This media can be used as is to remove very light burrs or as a burnishing media when used with a burnishing soap. The cylinders do not contain an abrasive so they can be used as an inactive filler or as a carrier for special size grits of Silicon Carbide, Aluminum Oxide or polishing agent. Measures 3/16" D x 1/2" L x 30 degree angle. Available in 5 and 50 pound packages.
|
Ceramic Triangles
Contains Aluminum Oxide, our most aggressive media for rapid deburring of either hard or soft metals. When used on steel or stainless steel parts it is recommended that a deburring compound be used for the best results. (30 degree angle x 7/8" high x 3/4" thick). Available in 5 and 50 pound packages.
|
Deburring Powder
A metal cleaning compound when mixed with water will keep the deburring media clean and active. This helps to increase the life of the media to provide the maximum effect during the deburring operation. This powder can also be used to inhibit rust formation when deburring steel parts. Easy to use (by dissolving 4 ounces per gallon of water) or can be added directly to the load. Available in 1, 5 and 100 pound packages.
