Xebec Round Ceramic Stones (Rotary Tools)
Round Ceramic Stones to fit into rotary tools for polishing and deburring.
- These stones come in sizes to suit rotary tool collets.
- They fit straight in the tool, then you can dress to a useful point with a diamond file.
- Useful for getting into very fine detail, the stones are surprisingly effective.
- Used commonly for mould tool polishing and for jewellery making where fine grits and minimum movement is necessary.
- Made from a composite material of ceramic fibres in a hard thermoset resin, they are hard to break!
- The abrasive needs to be revealed to work which is why you need to dress the end with a file.
- The grit runs throughout the stone, pared with it’s hardness makes this stone long lasting.
The range of grits allow you to remove material right through to a fine finish ready for polishing.
Available in 4 sizes:
1.6mm x 50mm
2.35mm x 50mm (suitable for jewellers)
3mm x 50mm
3mm x 150mm
We would also recommend mini superstones which are used by hand for getting into tight spots.
For Engineers
Excellent for down holes where there is a round profile. They are long lasting and effective even on hard metals such as Steel and Titanium. 3mm round stones are generally the best choice to fit your standard collet, though it is best to check what your tools take.
For Jewellers
They have proved very popular in jewellery workshops for working on fine jewellery, you can get into small settings and into tight angles. You’ll find them less aggressive than vitrified, diamond and carbide burrs which are often used causing extra work at the polishing stage.
The stone fits straight into your rotary tool, for most Jewellers tools this will be a 2.35mm stone.
A great stone to start off with is the orange 400g, followed by a blue 800g. These grades will work well on all jewellery metals.
