One of Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. core strengths is the creation and implementation of custom-designed systems and processes. Metal, plastic, ceramic, or wood...deburring, descaling, rust Removal or polishing: There are many options when using Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. mass-finishing machines.
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.
We have clients that rely on our metalworking machinery in many industries including:
Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. is known for its bookletmakers and finishing systems that are quick and versatile. The Sprint series models have a strong reputation for reliability and performance in the printing finishing industry. The SF2 bookletmaker uses wire-fed stitching technology that was previously only available in larger systems, which can run up to three times as much.

Our dry metal machines can be used by industries such as woodworking, metalworking, and composites. They allow for more consistent and efficient finishing. In an effort to provide the best finish possible, we distribute our products throughout North America.
Centrifugal barrel finishing requires the use of the right tumbling media. The cycle time for parts can be doubled if the media is not right, especially if it's the wrong geometry. If you are not using cones or cylinders to tumble media, it can significantly slow down the processing time.
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 container tumbler works in a similar way to a Ferris Wheel, with smaller baskets placed on the edges. A centrifugal finishing device, also known as harperizing, has four barrels. Each of these barrels represents a place on a Ferris wheels and one large wheel. Each revolution on the flywheel results into one complete rotation each barrel. High centrifugal forces are generated by the flywheel, which is fast turning. These forces can generate up to 15 – 20 times the force and gravity of gravity. The contents will slide against each others under high pressure. The increased pressure allows faster processing of metal components and consistent results.

Flummoxed by flat parts? Flat parts such as washers present one of the toughest challenges for centrifugal barrel finishing. The parts tend to wick together or stick to the side of the barrel, so only one side gets deburred. The solution is to add glass bead blasting media to the centrifugal barrel finishing process. The beads coat the parts so they can no longer stick to the barrel or each other. Glass beads also work well for parts that tend to cup together.
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.
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.
Finishing processes can be used to improve the following characteristics: appearance, adhesion or wettability, solderability, corrosion resistance, tarnish resistance, chemical resistance, wear resistance, hardness, modify electrical conductivity, remove burrs and other surface flaws, and control surface friction.
