Our dedicated staff and state-of-the-art equipment allow us to offer you a wide variety of finishes:

• Grinding: basic stock removal using either stone or coated abrasives.

• Line Graining: a directional scratch pattern using coated abrasives.

• Stroke Sanding: a means of flat sanding for large, long, or heavy items.

• Brush Finishes: a semi-directional pattern using coated or woven abrasives.

• Buffing: an operation accomplished by working the substrate with cotton or sisal wheels with an application of cutting compound. This usually follows a belting (or polishing) operation.

• Color Buffing: a final cleaning and brightening operation that uses soft cotton wheels with an application of rouge. This usually follows the operations mentioned above.

• Burr Bench: any number of detailing operations (performed either by hand or with a bench tool). Examples include light grinding, filing, fine detail buffing, de-burring, and I.D. finishing.

• Special Finishes: unique finishes ranging from a simple jitterbug finish to an intricate, custom pattern.

• Ra. Testing: testing the surface roughness or texture of an item, using a tool that scans the surface of said item and reports the Ra. (roughness average) in micro-inches or micro-meters as described in note #4 on most blue prints. Ra.=AA=CLA

•   Ultrasonic Cleaning: a process in which items are immersed in an environmentally safe aqueous solution that has been excited by sound imitating transducers. Our clients are thrilled with the results.
