Plastic Media Features
Plastic cones are fairly aggressive, but they can give a bright finish. They can be used on aluminium, brass and plastics. They are recommended for general metal removal, pre-painted or pre-plated finishing, polishing, and fast and heavy cutting. They will produce a very smooth finish, but very little shine. Plastic media is used for soft metals (brass and aluminium) or stringy materials to produce a better surface finish and to avoid rolling the burr over into a hole. This is also good for preparing parts for anodising, and the triangles are good for corners and flats. Plastic media gives the best surface quality. It does not discolour metal and does not peen over burrs. Plus, it’s 30% lighter than ceramic media.

Walnut Shell Media Features
Walnut shells are ground into various grit sizes to be used for cleaning and polishing. This is ideal for tumble polishing of metals such as aluminium, bronze and brass. Walnut shells are extremely durable, angular and multi-faceted, yet considered a soft abrasive.

Ceramic Media Features
Ceramic media is best for hard metals such as iron and steel as it supports heavy parts better than plastic media. It is good for edges and holes and will remove rust and de-burr. Ceramic media leaves a dull finish, Use dry or with a Vibro liquid / water solution
