Porcelain Balls 3mm Diameter- 1 Lb Pack

3 mm porcelain ball media for mass finishing and deburring. This micro-abrasive ceramic cuts, cleans, and leaves an extremely smooth surface that’s bright but not reflective. A lighter alternative to steel shot for smaller vibratory bowls or rotary barrels, porcelain media has a long service life and is less likely to ding delicate work. Use wet with a suitable detergent compound.
