Tumbling Media for Steel, Stainless Steel, and Hard Metals


V-Cylinder	Cylinder

Triangle	Ball

Made of a hard material, this tumbling media is tough enough to finish steel, stainless steel, and other hard metal parts. Choose the shape that best matches the contours of your part and a size that’s large enough not to get stuck in recesses and holes. You can also mix shapes and sizes to tailor the finish to your part.

For Ultra Smooth Finish—Gently deburr and blend with minimal edge rounding. This media lightly removes material for a sleek, satin finish.

For Mirror Finish—Use this media as the final step in your finishing process to create a reflective finish. Ideal for fragile parts, it rubs the surface without removing material.

V-Cylinder—A good all-around choice for flat surfaces, slots, corners, grooves, and holes. V-cylinders are a hybrid between cylinders and triangles.

Cylinder—Best for large, open surfaces such as cube faces, and flat parts with holes such as washers.

Triangle—Reach into slots, corners, grooves, and holes without getting stuck.

Ball—Best for gentle finishing. Balls are less aggressive than other shapes, so they smooth your workpiece without flattening any details.

Wet Tumbling Condition—Use this media with liquid cleaners.

Tumbling Media for Aluminum, Brass, and Soft Metals

Granule

Made of soft material, this tumbling media gently finishes aluminum, brass, and other soft metal parts without distorting them. Choose the shape that best matches the contours of your part and a size that’s large enough not to get stuck in recesses and holes. You can also mix shapes and sizes to tailor the finish to your part.

For Ultra Smooth Finish—Remove tarnish, oxidation, and light scratches to make your parts shine. Ideal for detailed or engraved parts, this media rubs the surface without wearing it down to preserve the shape and sharp edges.

Dry Tumbling Condition—Run this media dry and it won't stick to your parts. Dry media simplifies setup and cleanup, but it takes longer to finish your parts than wet media.

Walnut Shell—These walnut shells have larger particles than those used for abrasive blasting. They’re cleaned and treated for use in tumblers.
