Fabricating and Machining

Abrasive Blasting Media

Abrasive Blasting Media

Use in abrasive blasters to remove paint and rust or add texture to surfaces

Tumbling Media

Use in tumblers to polish, finish, deburr, clean, or round the edges of metal parts

Fastening and Joining

Adhesive Spacing Beads

Adhesive Spacing Beads

Add to structural and instant-bond adhesives to keep them from oozing out during clamping

Magnets

Attract or repel metal objects to hang, secure, or position them

Measuring and Inspecting

Bore Gauges

Insert into a hole and expand the contacts to measure diameter
