Material Finishing Machines

There are two options when it comes to choosing a metalworking machine. One is wet and one is dry. Both machines perform the same tasks using different methods. While wet machines use coolant to spread onto the surface, dry machines work without it.

Speed and versatility are the hallmarks of Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. bookletmakers and finishing systems. Our Sprint series models enjoy a solid reputation in the print finishing industry for performance and dependability. The revolutionary SF2 bookletmaker utilizes wire-fed stitching technology previously found only in larger systems costing up to three times more.

Mass finishing using a centrifugal tumbler barrel can be done wet or dry. Wet processes may use a liquid solvent, cleaner, or abrasive. Dry processes do not. Each barrel can be filled with approximately 50 to 80% of its capacity using the following elements:

Mass finishing is a set of manufacturing processes that applies surface finishing to large quantities of parts simultaneously. In mass finishing, loose metal parts are placed in a container, and the motion of the container creates friction on the metal surface. This friction results in a cutting action on the metal surface, which can vary from heavy grinding to fine polishing.

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.

Centrifugal barrel turners are a unique type of barrel tumblers. They use centrifugal force to add to the effects.
