These hardwood tool handles were finished in our Job Shop using two separate tumbling operations to achieve different results.

The handle on the left was deburred, while the handle on the right completed an additional polishing step for a smoother, more refined finish, demonstrating how multiple operations can be used to achieve different results.

Blasting systems support a wide range of surface finishing applications, including:

➡️ Cleaning precision parts, molds, dies, castings, electric motor components, and machine parts
➡️ Removing rust, scale, paint, carbon deposits, slag, oxides, and light burrs
➡️ Preparing surfaces for painting, plating, anodizing, welding, and coatings
➡️ Peening parts to improve fatigue resistance and relieve stress at weld points
➡️ Reclaiming rusted tools, used files, saw blades, and hardware components
➡️ Finishing parts requiring decorative finishes or improved surface characteristics

Carbon steel media is built for demanding finishing applications where durability and consistent performance matter. Its high density and long service life make it an effective choice for burnishing, polishing, cleaning, and work hardening a wide range of metal parts. Explore our carbon steel tumbling media options on our website to find the right solution for your application.

Getting the best results from a tumbler polishing machine starts with understanding how the process works. Media selection, machine type, cycle time, and compounds each influence the quality and consistency of the final finish, making process optimization essential for achieving reliable results.

Did you know the shape of your tumbling media can have just as much impact as the material it's made from?

Different media shapes are designed to reach different part geometries, helping improve contact with edges, holes, recesses, and flat surfaces. Choosing the right shape can lead to more consistent finishing results and improved process efficiency.

If you aren’t sure which shape is the best fit for your project, use the Kramer AI Expert on our website for guidance or to connect with our team.

In abrasive blasting, operator protection is just as important as equipment performance. Air-fed helmets provide a continuous supply of clean breathing air while supporting comfort during extended use in demanding work environments. Designed for extended use, they support comfort without compromising safety throughout extended blasting applications.

When bringing finishing operations in-house is not the right fit, outsourcing can provide the equipment and expertise needed to keep production moving.

Our Job Shop offers abrasive blasting, vibratory finishing, tumbling, cleaning, polishing, and additional finishing services for prototypes, production runs, and specialized projects. Visit our website or contact our team to learn more about our Job Shop services.
