Porcelain Balls 1mm Diameter-1 Lb Pack

Porcelain ball media in 1 mm diameter for mass finishing and deburring of jewelry, castings, and fabricated metal parts. This micro-abrasive ceramic cuts, cleans, and leaves an extremely smooth surface that is bright but not mirror-reflective. A lighter alternative to steel shot, porcelain media is well suited for smaller vibratory bowls or rotary barrels where machine weight limits apply. Its gentle action makes it ideal for delicate work where steel might cause ding marks or edge damage. Use wet with a suitable detergent or burnishing compound. Sold in a 1 lb pack.
