Choosing the Right Media

There is no universal "best" media. The ideal choice depends on:

  • Part material

  • Part geometry

  • Burr size

  • Surface finish requirements

  • Production volume

  • Cycle time goals

  • Cost per finished part


A media that performs exceptionally well in one application may be completely unsuitable in another.


Giant Finishing can run free sample testing to determine the optimal media and process for your specific parts. Testing often identifies opportunities to reduce cycle times, improve finish quality, and lower finishing costs while ensuring consistent production results.
