VIBRATORY MASS fiNISHING PROCESS REM Chemicals Inc., Southington, Conn. Normal parts grinding and polishing operations leave a linear pattern of surface ridges and val- leys, which must be removed in subsequent oper- ations. This is especially important for metal-to- metal parts. REM's chemically accelerated vibratory mass finishing process increases the life expectancy of treated components. The process has become the standard in aerospace and auto- motive manufacturing. Circle 153 on reader information card CENTRIFUGAL FINISHING MACHINES Richwood Industries.
