3 mm porcelain ball media for mass finishing and deburring. This micro-abrasive ceramic cuts, cleans, and leaves an extremely smooth surface that is 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 damage delicate work. Use wet with a suitable detergent compound.

Features

  • 3 mm diameter porcelain spheres for fine cutting and smoothing
  • Produces a bright, non-reflective finish
  • Works in vibratory and rotary tumblers
  • Lighter than steel — ideal where machine weight limits apply
  • Very long service life; gentle on delicate edges and details
  • Sold by the pound

Applications

  • Cutting and cleaning castings and fabricated parts

Notes

  • Use wet with a small amount of detergent or burnishing compound.
  • Expect longer cycle times than steel shot.
  • Requires a brief break-in period; media develops a glazed surface after initial runs.
  • For best results, run a mix of sizes to improve coverage and action.
