Porcelain ball media in a 4 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. Long service life and gentle action make it a smart choice for preserving fine details and delicate edges. Sold in a 1 lb pack. Use wet with a suitable detergent or burnishing compound.

Features

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

Notes

  • Use wet with a small amount of detergent or burnishing compound.

  • Requires a brief break-in period; media develops a glazed surface after initial runs.
  • For best results, consider running a mix of sizes to improve media coverage and tumbling action.
