Regardless of the number of steps in your process, each step must be performed separately. In other words, you cannot perform deburring and polishing simultaneously. Instead, deburr first, then polish. If more than one step is required, the steps must be performed in ascending order of smoothness, with deburring first and polishing last.
The three types of work that centrifugal barrel-finishing machines can do are known as steps. You may not need to perform all the steps depending on the surface finish requirements of your product. There may be one step, two steps or three steps in your process.
The detergent is essential. While you may think the cleaning compound was meant for the metal parts of the tumble media, it is actually necessary for its use. The cleaning compound helps keep pores open in the tumbling medium by providing lubricity. If the pores of the tumbling medium become glazed, cutting will cease to work. The metal parts will become black. The soap was not used to make the parts black.

The centrifugal barrel tumble machines are particularly well-suited for removing large burrs and blending lines that can be caused by machining. These machines are also excellent for polishing and burnishing. Centrifugal barrel machines can be used with various kinds of ceramic or organic media (e.g. corn-cob), and can achieve almost any surface finish, from super-fine polishing to burr removal.
With our machines, you benefit from a longer lifespan, reduced costs, and less frequent maintenance for finishing or deburring.
The FC 10 offers a wide range of performance-enhancing options. Corner stapler attachments can staple up to 10 sheets per minute. For easy mobility, the heavy-duty base can be mounted on casters. Underwriters Laboratories Canada and the US have certified FC 10
The polishing step is usually done dry using ground-up corncob as media and embedded polishing compound. For dry processing, ground-up walnut shells can be used.
The vibratory tumbler uses a side-to–side motion to shake a tub or bowl in a circular pattern, much like the rock polishing kit that many of us used as children. As the media and parts are sheared against each other, the finishing takes place in a scrubbing motion.
Reduce the mess. Regularly clean the sludge. Here's a tip: Place horse bedding in the tank to absorb any remaining water. This makes it easier to use a shovel to remove the remaining sludge.
Safety is also improved by using a deburring machine. It reduces repetitive motion injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome that can be caused by polishing and deburring by hand. Handwork is much more comfortable with a centrifugal barrel machine than it is with handwork. Although centrifugal tumblers require that operators manually load each barrel, the machine's high speed makes up for the labor intensity.
Barrel tumblers create sliding friction by using rotary movement and abrasive-tumbling media. Think of putting rocks into a container and rolling it downhill. The parts are pushed against the media or other parts, and this is called deburring.

Metal finishing is the process of altering an object's surface in order to improve its appearance and/or durability. Metal finishing is related to electroplating, which is the electrodeposition of a thin surface coating of metal onto another.
