=== '''Tumbling Media''' === Currently we have 3 sets of Shop supplied media: {{Discuss | * I would like to combine the abrasive media info here because at least some of it can be used in both tumblers and the two sandblasters. Any objections if I move this section to [[Template:Abrasive media in the metalworking room]] that has already been applied to the main page of all these tools? }} # Grey Ceramic ## The Grey Ceramic media is designed for steel and stainless steel. It cuts hard and fast, and leaves a matte finish. # Green Resin ## The Green Resin cones are designed for softer metals like aluminum and brass. # Corn Cob Polishing Media ## Corn cob polishing media can get a highly polished finish on parts, after they go though the primary polish. For example, if you want to mirror polish an aluminum part, first run the part in the Green Resin media to get a consistent finish, then finish the polish in the corn cob media. ## Note - we do have corn cob media for both Aluminum and Steel, take care not to cross contaminate the polishing media. # Members are welcome to bring their own media if they have a particular project. Please consult with the trainer to ensure we have space for storage, and to determine which lubricant is ideal for the task/media. <nowiki>*</nowiki> '''NEVER tumble steel in the Green Resin Media, and NEVER tumble aluminum in the Grey ceramic media due to the risk of contamination. This creates a very bad finish and the media is extremely time consuming to clean.'''
