Lathe Burnishing Tool for Smooth Surface Finish ±0.02mm Precision Shim Ready
🔩 Turns Your Lathe Into a Surface Finisher — Burnishes directly on a manual center lathe, eliminating the need for separate grinding or polishing operations and saving significant machining time.
⚙️ Cold-Works, Never Cuts — The hardened bearing steel ball plastically deforms surface peaks into valleys, producing a mirror finish while simultaneously work-hardening the surface layer for improved wear resistance.
✨ Mirror-Quality Surface Finish — Dramatically reduces surface roughness (Ra), producing a reflective, smooth finish comparable to ground surfaces without the cost of grinding equipment.
🔧 Extreme Hardness Range — HRC 18 to 68 — Compatible with mild steel, alloy steel, hardened steel, and most engineering metals, making it versatile across a wide range of workshop applications.
📏 Compact & Rigid Build — 142 mm / 5.6 Inches Overall Length — Designed for stable, chatter-free mounting in standard tool posts without overhang issues.
📐 Four Shank Sizes Available — Choose from :- Option 1: Shank 16 × 22 mm | Ball Centre 8 mm from lower face Option 2: Shank 12 × 22 mm | Ball Centre 6 mm from lower face Option 3: Shank 20 × 22.5 mm | Ball Centre 10 mm from lower face Option 4: Shank 25 × 22.5 mm | Ball Centre 12.4 mm from lower face
🎯 Precision −0.02 mm Tolerance & Shim-Ready Design — The −0.02 mm tolerance means each shank is deliberately measured slightly below nominal, since a hair under-centre is safer than over, and if your tool post can\'t reach the exact height, thin steel shim plates (filler) packed under the tool holder close the gap precisely without affecting rigidity.
💰 Cuts Production Cost Per Part — Fewer process steps means less machine time, less consumable spend, and faster throughput — ideal for workshops producing shafts, pins, bores, and cylindrical components in volume.
