7 Reasons to Choose Bead Blasting Over Polishing for CNC Parts
When finalizing your CNC machined parts, choosing the right surface finishing method can make or break your project’s success. While traditional polishing has been a go-to solution, bead blasting is increasingly becoming the preferred choice among engineers and manufacturers—and for good reasons. Bead blasting surpasses polishing for CNC parts by preserving material integrity, offering superior […]
Key Things Engineers Must Know About Bead Blasting
Surface finish decisions impact both part performance and production cost. With decades of CNC experience across aerospace and medical sectors, understanding bead blasting’s effects on tolerances and materials is critical for smart design choices. Bead blasting produces Ra 1.6–6.3 μm finishes while removing 0.005–0.025 mm material. Success depends on proper media selection, controlled air pressure, […]
