3/16" Sphere Carbon Steel Shot Media

Measuring 4.76 mm (3/16 inch) in diameter, these larger carbon steel spheres are ideal for finishing heavy jewelry items and larger metal components. The increased weight of each sphere provides a more aggressive burnishing action, which is perfect for smoothing out casting skin and minor surface imperfections.

They are often used in larger rotary tumblers where the weight of the media helps to quickly bring a batch of jewelry to a high-luster state. For best results, they should be used in conjunction with a high-quality liquid burnishing soap to ensure the metal stays clean and the media moves freely.
