When the line goes down
When the line is down, three months is not an answer.
You did not go looking for a machine. You went looking because a part is past due and the usual fix is three months away. We have taken that call for decades.
01Your line is downThe machine that deburrs your parts gave out, or hand work and the old vibratory bowl cannot keep pace. Everything stacks up behind it.
02You take the heatYou are the one who calls the customer about the missed deadline, and the one left with a vendor who went quiet the day after your PO cleared.
03It should not be this hardA finishing machine sitting on a shelf should not cost you three months of waiting and a dozen unanswered calls to buy.
Who you are calling
The people who have gotten shops unstuck since 1988.
We have built and stood behind these machines since 1988. We keep every size on the floor in Los Angeles and the owner's cell on every quote, because when your line is down you should reach a person who can fix it, not a queue.
Will it hold up?
Gear-driven where the stress lives.
You will run this machine every shift for years. The critical, high-stress components run on gears, not a chain or a belt. Here is what is under the cover, and why it finishes a part the same way on day one and day three thousand.
01Gear-driven turretThe critical, high-stress components are gear-driven, not chain or belt. Fewer wear parts, no slipping in greasy or humid shops, no chain slap, and steady power to every barrel.
02Precision bearingsHigh-grade bearings carry the load at full G-force, run after run, so the machine holds its finish quality over a long service life.
03Built to lastQuality components and tight fit and finish throughout. These machines are made to run hard and keep running.

How it works
Why centrifugal beats vibratory.
Centrifugal barrel finishing spins parts, media, and compound around a central axis at up to 25 G, deburring and polishing in minutes what a vibratory bowl takes hours to do.
Up to 16x fasterSpeedWhat takes a vibratory bowl 4 to 8 hours, a centrifugal barrel can do in around 30 minutes. When a line is down or a new order just landed, that gap is the whole decision.
Even in all directionsIsotropic finishParts are finished evenly in every direction, removing tool striations and leaving a uniform, low-stress surface no hand process can match repeatably.
Separated, every cycleNo part-on-part damageMovable barrel dividers keep parts separated through the cycle. No fixturing, no nicked edges, no sorting afterward.
Into every cavityReaches fine featuresHigh G-force lets very small media carry energy into slots, bores, and intricate geometry that larger media and hand tools never reach.

FAQ
Questions buyers ask first.
Straight answers on speed, pricing, and how centrifugal finishing actually works.
Centrifugal barrel finishing rotates barrels of parts, media, water, and compound around a central axis at high speed. The resulting centrifugal force, up to roughly 25 G, drives the media against the parts far harder than gravity-based vibratory finishing, deburring and polishing in minutes instead of hours while producing a uniform isotropic surface.
A vibratory bowl relies on gentle vibration at roughly 1 G. A centrifugal barrel multiplies the force up to ~25 G, so a cycle that takes a vibratory machine 4 to 8 hours often finishes in about 30 minutes. For high-mix or high-volume shops that throughput difference is the reason to switch.
The critical, high-stress components are gear-driven, not chain or belt, so there are fewer wear parts, nothing slips in a greasy or humid shop, and every barrel gets steady power. High-grade bearings and quality components hold finish quality run after run. Richwood has built and backed these machines since 1988.
Richwood stocks machines in its Los Angeles warehouse, so a stocked size ships in about one week. National OEMs typically build to order on a 90-day lead time, and overseas-direct purchases take 8 to 10 weeks plus ocean transit with no local support.
Yes. Richwood-direct starting prices are listed on each machine page. Most competitors hide pricing behind a quote form. You can compare before you ever pick up the phone, and the owner confirms the final configuration directly.
Yes. Because units are stocked and powered in Los Angeles, you can watch your exact machine run on a video call, or send a sample part and have it finished in the actual unit before you commit.
You talk to the owner directly. Kevin's line is on every quote and every machine page. There is no call center and no rep layer between you and the person who owns the inventory.
Our sister company, Deburring Shop in Gardena, CA, runs Richwood equipment as a full-service finishing job shop. They deburr, polish, and finish your parts and stock the media and compounds that keep production moving.
