Collection: Loose Abrasives & Grit

About Loose Abrasives & Grit

Tumbling grit, polishing powders and media — everything abrasive that isn't bonded to a wheel.

  • Silicon carbide grit — harder than any common stone, sharp and angular, and the cheapest way to remove material. The standard tumbling abrasive.
  • Graded coarse through fine so you can run a full rotary sequence, or a shorter run in a vibratory bowl.
  • Grit kits with the stages pre-portioned, and grit saver to stretch a charge.
  • Cerium oxide — the general-purpose polish for quartz family stones, agate, jasper and obsidian.
  • Tin oxide — for softer material such as opal, turquoise and calcite.
  • Aluminum oxide and chrome oxide for stones that undercut or refuse to come up on cerium.
  • Diamond powder for the hardest material and the finest finishes.
  • Pre-polish and pro-polish steps to close the gap between fine grit and polish.
  • Plastic pellets, ceramic media, ground walnut shell and stainless steel mix for cushioning and burnishing.
