A centrifugal barrel parts tumbler can eliminate 95% of the handwork involved in deburring or polishing parts by hand. This reduction of hand sorting dramatically increases production and return on investment. Using a centrifugal barrel finisher reduces the waste and expense of having to use a microscope to identify defects and remove burrs on each part to meet a customer’s requirement for metal smoothness.
These machines are designed for multi-shift and seven-day-per week operations. This machine is designed for the highest production requirements to enable you to meet large production demands.
Tumbler medium is the abrasive in mass finishing. It removes the burrs, cutting lines and scratches from metal surfaces. Tumbler media is available in many forms.
Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. offers a range of digital finishing options that are perfectly suited to the digital world. Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. offers digital finishing solutions for everything from cutting to creasing and folding. The Aerocut digital finishing solutions range is perfect for those who want to go beyond single-pass slitting and cutting. These all-in one finishing systems will elevate your digital production to a new level.
Whether your application requires compact systems to complete smaller deburring projects or larger, heavy-duty models to complete several shifts and facilitate large-scale production, we’ll help you locate the right machine for nearly any metalworking process.
In addition, using a centrifugal barrel finishing machine increases consistency in quality. Handwork at best yields an 80% acceptance rate, but with a centrifugal barrel finisher you can achieve much higher rates of acceptance. In addition, the surface finish after centrifugal part tumbling is isotropic and consistent in all directions, unlike hand polishing.

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
Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. can provide top-quality abrasive solutions for each customer, no matter what their material or application. Our machines are capable of performing a wide range of tasks depending on the job, such as deburring, slag grinder, edge rounding and calibrating, or finishing. We also have dry metal machines which can be used in many other applications and offer many benefits.
Our metalworking machines are trusted by clients in a variety of industries.
Polishing is usually a dry process with ground-up corncob used as media. The compound embedded in the polishing agent is included. Also, dry processing can be made with ground-up walnutshells.
Our dry metal machines serve industries in woodworking, metalworking, composites, and plastics to allow for more uniform and efficient finishing processes. We distribute our products all over North America to corresponding industries in an effort to help them achieve the best possible finish.
Industry workhorses, centrifugal barrel finish systems can be used to finish many metals, such as brass and aluminum, stainless, chrome, and steel. Plastic parts are not deburred by this type system, as plastic is too malleable for this process.
Mass finishing refers to a series of manufacturing processes that apply surface finishing to large numbers of parts at once. Mass finishing involves placing loose metal parts in a container. The container's motion creates friction on the metal surfaces. This friction causes a cutting action on metal surfaces, which can range from heavy grinding to fine polishing.
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.
