Tumbling

We have tumbling barrels that range in size from 3/4 cubic foot to 60 cubic foot to accommodate nearly any deburring project.

The barrels are six- or eight-sided rotating chambers that produce a rolling, tumbling action. The speeds in these tumbling barrels are variable. High speeds are generally used for removing sharp edges and burrs, while slower speeds provide a finished, polished look.

The abrasive deburring media used in this process is available in various geometric shapes & sizes, several grades from fast cut to fine finish; and are generally made of plastic, ceramic or steel. The media is tumbled with the metal parts in either a wet or dry process, depending on the application.
