Barrelling Machine Kit For Polishing Metal
Unit of measure: Each
Full Barrelling Machine kit including rust resistant stainless steel shot & a 1 year motor guarantee
This kit comes with everything you need to tumble polish your metal jewellery creations!
Tumble polishers (also known as barrel or rotary polishers) work by 'tumbling' the stainless steel shot around in the spinning vaned or paddled barrel which impacts on your jewellery acting like thousands of tiny hammers planishing the surface of the metal, polishing it to a high shine.
Remove any scratches etc. by pre-polishing (for example using sanding sheets) before using the barreling machine for a final polish and to gently work harden your designs.
It is perfect for the polishing silver (all types including sterling silver and fine silver as well as tarnish-resistant silver), gold, copper, bronze, palladium, platinum and all metal clays.
