Introduction: The finishing of tube, pipe and hand railings has been transformed with the development of hand held finishing machines such as the Finitube. With the right selection for your application, belt life can be exceptional and a wide range of brushed, satin and polished finishes can be easily achieved.
Tube finishing belts are available in most sizes and in grades from 40 to 400 grit. In addition we stock all the standard surface conditioning material grades and polishing belts for polishing to a mirror finish. Trizact belts provide a more efficient process and diamond belts offer a means of sanding hard alloys such as chrome steel. The amazing Micro Finishing belts which can give a mirror bright finish without the use of polishing compounds.
How to make tube finishing easy:
The number one requirement when finishing tubes is the quality of finish. Proper preparation of the tube before using your tube polisher can make this process much easier. We strongly recommend the new Rapid Combi Discs, which can more than halve the time taken to remove and finish welds and improve the finish standard at the same time.
