As you are considering the need for polishing, de-burring, sanding and/or finishing a manufactured end product, it's important to know your materials and processing goals before buying any equipment.  Our job as a local AZ metal finishing equipment distributor is to help you make an informed decision, such as considering:

​

1. Wet vs. Dry Deburring Machines

There are two type of metal finishing machines we offer: wet and dry. Either type of machine can effectively deburr metal parts and be used in other metalworking applications. It's simply that one vs. the other may do the job better given your materials and metal processing applications such as below:

​

Dry Metal Finishing Machines are ideal for:

• Deburring Metal

• Grinding

• Polishing

• Graining

• Finishing

• Brushing

• Oxidation Removal

Wet Metal Finishing Machines are ideal for:

• Deburring Metal

• Slag Grinding

• Calibrating/Dimensioning

• Edge Rounding

• Paint/Surface Preparation

• Finishing/Polishing for Combustible Metals

​

For example, if you routinely finish combustible metals like aluminum, it’s important to choose a wet metal finishing machine. Conversely, if you need to efficiently grind similar, non-combustible metals (like carbon steel), then a dry metal finishing may be the best fit.

​

2. Production Capabilities

The deburring process may dramatically vary depending on how your parts are machined and processed. Such as, components created through laser or plasma cutting may have different finishing requirements compared to parts that are sheared, punched, or drilled. Do you only need the vertical burrs on parts removed—or every single outside and inside edge? Specifying your unique finishing needs will help you select the right solution.

Both dry and wet metal deburring machines come in different sizes and styles to accommodate your shop’s specific production requirements. When searching for a deburring machine, keep track of its series number and specifications. This will ensure that the machine you choose aligns with your unique production needs.
