These 9/16" XF plastic cones deliver ultra-fine surface conditioning that's perfect for preparing soft metals before plating or anodizing. If you're working with copper, brass, or aluminum parts that need a smooth, consistent finish without aggressive cutting, this media hits the sweet spot.
Key Features
- Ultra-fine XF grade produces low RMS finishes ideal for precision work
- Gentle on soft metals like copper, brass, and aluminum without distortion
- Optimized for Compound B solution to enhance surface consistency
- Consistent cone shape provides uniform contact across complex part geometries
- Durable plastic construction outlasts ceramic media in fine finishing applications
- Professional-grade results trusted in aerospace and electronics manufacturing
About This Tumbling Media
The XF (extra-fine) grade makes these cones ideal for that critical step between rough finishing and final polish. They're specifically formulated to work with Raytech Compound B solution for optimal surface preparation. Unlike aggressive ceramic media, these plastic cones won't remove material aggressively - they condition and smooth.
Jewelry makers and precision metal workers rely on this media for pre-plating surface prep where you need to remove minor scratches and tool marks without changing part dimensions. The cone shape works well in Raytech vibratory tumblers to reach into corners and complex geometries that spherical media might miss.
Applications & Compatibility
Works in any vibratory tumbler but performs best in Raytech units designed for fine finishing. Common applications include jewelry finishing, electronics component prep, and fine gold recovery operations where gentle processing preserves delicate surfaces. Pair with other tumbling accessories for complete surface finishing solutions.
