Production finishing guidance

Built for consistent deburring, edge conditioning and surface preparation.

Grain dry polishing media provides repeatable part-to-media contact for deburring & grinding. Its geometry and abrasive composition help production teams match cutting action, reach and surface finish to the component.

Common applications

  • Deburring machined, stamped and cast metal components
  • Edge radiusing before coating, plating or assembly
  • Surface conditioning for repeatable finishing workflows

How to select media

Match the media shape, size, cut and process time to the part material, geometry and finish required. For complex parts or specific edge targets, request a media recommendation before ordering.

Dry polishing media selection guide

How grain dry polishing media supports a repeatable finishing process.

Dry polishing tumbling media is selected around the part material, geometry, desired edge condition and the finishing equipment in use. This grain profile, sized 300 Mesh × n/a × 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 dry polishing 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.
