Description
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.
