When finishing round shank tools with narrow flutes, wet blasting offers distinct advantages over brushing, especially in terms of consistency, precision, and geometry preservation.
✅ Superior access
Wet blasting uses a pressurised slurry that easily reaches into deep, narrow flutes, areas that brushing struggles or fails to access reliably.
✅ Uniform finish
The wet blasting process delivers a highly controlled, even surface finish across complex geometries, unlike brushing, which often leaves inconsistent results.
✅ Edge integrity maintained
Brushing can unintentionally round off or damage cutting edges, particularly in confined flute areas. Wet blasting preserves the original tool geometry without compromising sharpness.
✅ Cleaner process
With its liquid medium, wet blasting removes fine particles and residues more effectively than dry brushing, ensuring a cleaner, ready-to-use tool surface.
For high-performance tools with intricate geometries, wet blasting isn't just better, it's essential.
