We’ll use a variety of processes to remove small imperfections, scratches, and burr left over from the cutting process.
Please note that our finishing services will not result in a perfectly cosmetic finish, but the parts will be attractive, smooth and ready to use.
If your project requires a perfectly brushed pattern, aggressive edge softening, or a highly polished surface, we recommend performing finishing operations after you receive the parts from us. We do not offer a cosmetic graining or brushing service.
You can choose to have your parts deburred or tumbled. We have perfected the recipes per material for each option. Results vary based on the hardness and density of each material as seen in the examples below.
For small parts:
The minimum part size for linear deburring is 1″ x 3″.
Upon request (or at our discretion), parts smaller than approximately 4″ x 4″ may be ceramic tumbled in order to provide a smooth surface finish.
Small parts:
The minimum part size for tumbling is 0.250″ x 0.750″.
Large parts:
The maximum part size for tumbling is 4″ x 7″.
SendCutSend does not offer line graining, but our free online deburring service will help remove any major imperfections leftover from the machining process. Deburring doesn’t polish the surface or leave it perfectly finished as with line graining, but it will prepare your part for additional finishing and assembly.
We have multiple etching limitations to keep in mind since we do not offer laser engraving or solid etching. Our etching services are currently limited to single line etching. Single Line Etching Limitations There are some limitations that are specific to single line etching. Service Limitations Single line etching shouldn’t be combined with services
We do not offer laser engraving or solid etching at this time. We recommend contacting a specialty engraving or trophy shop for those services. Single Line Laser Etching However, we offer “single-line etching” on laser cut mild steel, aluminum, and stainless steel. All eligible materials and examples can be found here: Single Line Etching
There will inevitably be scratches left on the surface of your part after the machining process especially on the bottom side that contacts the laser bed. Thick aluminum (>.250″) may have a slight burr on the bottom edge. If you want to minimize the effect the scratches will have on the final look of
