Ceramic media selection guide
How tristars ceramic media supports a repeatable finishing process.
Ceramic tumbling media is selected around the part material, geometry, desired edge condition and the finishing equipment in use. This tristars profile, sized 1 3/8" × 1/2" × n/a, is intended for consistent contact where a repeatable finishing action matters.
For dependable production results, review the machine load, media-to-part ratio, compound, water flow and cycle time together. Trial a small production run when the component, finish target or process changes, then document the setup so operators can repeat it.
Machinist's Vault supplies ceramic finishing media for vibratory bowls, tubs and batch-finishing systems. Teams can order the listed production tiers online or request a custom quantity when their media program exceeds 1,000 lb.
