Use this Grade A tumbling grit to get the best tumbler results for softer rocks such as agates and jaspers in a rotary tumbler. We provide you with material to run two pre-polish steps, the first is with Silicon Carbide 500 grit, then a finer pre-polish of Aluminum Oxide 1000 pre-polish. This dual step process for pre-polishing sets your rocks up for maximized results in the Polish stage using micron level Aluminum Oxide polish.
This is a Tumbler Media Kit with Grit and Polish. The kit includes enough media to tumble a full load of rock in a 3 pound rotary tumbler. The materials can also be used in other sized tumblers with simple ratio adjustment.
The tumbling process for rocks uses a four step process with two passes in step 1 and these abrasive and polishing materials. All necessary elements to completely tumble rocks from start to finish are provided. The following five items are included in the kit.
One 3 oz. package coarse Silicon Carbide (60/90 grit) used in Step 1
One 3 oz package medium Silicon Carbide (120/220 grit) used in Step 2
One 1.5 oz package pre-polish Silicon Carbide (500 grit) used in Step 3A
One 1.5 oz package pre-polish Aluminum Oxide (1000 grit) used in Step 3B
One 1.5 oz package polish Aluminum Oxide Fine (micron sized) used in Step 4
The abrasive media is shipped in separate plastic reclosable bags.
