The two main options for metalworking machines that can finish and deburr are wet and dry. These machines accomplish the same thing using different methods. Wet machines spread a coolant mix on the surface of the processed parts. Dry machines operate without this mix.
With our traditional Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. manufacturing equipment, you can upgrade your plant and meet your manufacturing needs. Excellent quality, durability safety, and operational ease.
We have a wide range of dry metal machines that can be used for various purposes, such as graining, deburring and finishing, oxide removal or dimensioning, edge radiusing and grinding. We offer both dry and wet metal machine options depending on the type of material that needs to be processed. Dry machines are recommended for grinding because they have lower levels of grit, and coarser grit in environments that don't require high temperatures.
A centrifugal barrel finisher increases quality consistency. Handwork only yields a 80% acceptance rate. However, a centrifugal barrel finishing machine can produce much higher acceptance rates. The surface finish after centrifugal barrel finishing is consistent in all directions and isotropic, unlike hand polishing.
The polishing step is usually a dry process using ground-up corn cob as media, with polishing compound embedded. Ground-up walnut shells are also used as media for dry processing.

Centrifugal barrel grinding machines are the fastest, most cost-effective and efficient way to polish large quantities of metal. Also known by the names industrial tumblers, rotary tumblers, and harperizer systems, centrifugal barrel tumbling machines use a cyclical sliding movement to grind the metal surfaces. Centrifugal finishing is a method of mass finishing.
With our machines, you benefit from a longer lifespan, reduced costs, and less frequent maintenance for finishing or deburring.
Built in a heavy duty construction with a smaller footprint designed to accommodate a job shop with various applications such as deburring, dross removal, calibrating/dimensioning, edge radiusing or finishing.
Are you frustrated by flat parts Flat parts such washers pose the biggest challenge in centrifugal barrel finish. They can stick to or wick together on the barrel sides, so only one side is deburred. Add glass bead blasting media into the centrifugal-barrel finishing process. The beads coat parts so that they won't stick together or to the barrel. Glass beads are also great for parts that may be difficult to separate.
Do you need high-quality dry machine for your application? Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. will provide you with the most reliable designs. We will help you determine what you require. We offer a range of dry metal machines along with a variety wet metal and wood machines. No matter how precise or demanding your requirements may be, we build every machine from scratch.
Our dry metal machines are used in the woodworking, metalworking and composite industries. This allows for uniform and more efficient finishing. Our products are distributed throughout North America to the corresponding industries to ensure that they achieve the best finish.
Polishing is typically a dry process that uses ground-up corn cob media with embedded polishing compound. Dry processing can also be done with ground-up walnut shells.
A centrifugal barrel tumbling machine is especially well-suited to remove significant burrs, blending lines and other machinable material. They also excel in polishing and burning applications. With the use of various ceramic and organic media (e.g., corn cob), centrifugal bars machines can achieve nearly any part finish. This includes super-fine surface finishing polishing, burr removal, and even micro-finish polishing.
