Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. tabletop folders offer the perfect combination of speed, precision, and ease of use, making them ideally suited for small offices, schools, and corporate environments. Automatic programmable models store fold programs in memory and can be set up to run at the touch of a button.
Centrifugal barrel finishing machines can perform each of these three types of work, also called steps. Depending on surface finishing specifications for your product, not all steps may be necessary. Your process might include a single step, two steps, or three steps.
These industry-proven finishing systems can be used with many types metals such as brass, aluminum, stainless steel and chrome. Because plastic is too soft for this process, this type of system will not deburr parts made of plastic.
A variety of applications can be achieved with our dry metal machines, including grinding, graining or deburring, finishing, removing oxide, dimensioning, radiusing edges, and dimensioning. We offer both wet and dry machine configurations depending on the materials being processed. Because of the lower levels and coarser grit required for grinding, we recommend dry machines.

These machines can be used for multiple shifts and seven days per week. These machines are designed to handle the most demanding production requirements.
There are many performance-enhancing options available for the FC 10. The corner stapler attachment can staple up to 10 sheets at once. Easy mobility is possible thanks to the heavy-duty base that's mounted on casters. Underwriters Laboratories in the USA and Canada have certified the FC 10.
The centrifugal barrel twister is a very special form of barrel torches. It uses centrifugal force to enhance the barrel tumbling effects.
The FC 10 Automatic Collator can be described as one of the most versatile and flexible collators currently on the market. It's reliable and easy-to-use, interfaces well with a number of bookletmakers, such as the Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. Scrams, and SF2 series.
No matter how many steps you have, each step must be done separately. You cannot do polishing and deburring at the same time. Deburr first and then polish. If more than one step must be done, each step should be completed in ascending order of smoothness. Deburring first, then polishing last.
There are four options for working heads. Our machines can be customized with a range of rotating brushes and abrasive belts.
The vibratory tumbler uses a side-to–side motion to shake a tub or bowl in a circular pattern, much like the rock polishing kit that many of us used as children. As the media and parts are sheared against each other, the finishing takes place in a scrubbing motion.
A centrifugal barrel tumbler can perform mass finishing either wet- or dry. Wet processes use liquid lubricants, cleaners, or abrasives, while dry processes do not. Each barrel is filled to 50-80% capacity with the following elements.
Finishing operations, also known as finishing manufacturing, occur at the end of the manufacturing process, after the part has been formed and secondary processes have been completed.
Metal finishing aids in the reduction of wear and tear on metallic products. Aside from aesthetics, it has a wide range of industrial applications. It helps to improve electrical conductivity, torque resistance, and metal solderability, among other things.
Finishing mortars and concretes; natural and artificial masonry materials; decorative ceramics; materials and items made of wood, paper, glass, plastic, and metals; and paints and varnishes are the most common finishing materials used in modern construction.
