Value Collection 350-4050 Synthetic Ruby Finishing Stick

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 350-4050 is a round, synthetic ruby midget finishing stick designed for precision deburring, honing, and fine surface finishing in tight or hard-to-reach areas. At approximately 3.94 inches long and 0.12 inches in diameter, this compact stick delivers fine-grade abrasive action through a dense synthetic ruby abrasive matrix. It is well suited for tool-and-die work, mold finishing, and detailed hand-finishing tasks where larger stones cannot access the work surface. Machinists, toolmakers, and skilled tradespeople use this type of finishing stick to remove burrs, polish bores, and blend machined surfaces to a consistent finish.

This finishing stick is appropriate for bench and hand use in machine shops, maintenance environments, and precision manufacturing settings. Its fine grade makes it most effective as a finishing and polishing step rather than aggressive stock removal. The round profile allows it to work inside cylindrical bores, slots, and curved profiles. It is typically used dry or with a light honing oil depending on the base material being worked.

Key Features

• Synthetic ruby abrasive material for consistent fine-grade cutting action
• Round profile for use in bores, slots, and curved surfaces
• Compact midget size reaches confined areas inaccessible to standard stones
• Fine grade suited for finishing, deburring, and surface blending
• Lightweight at approximately 0.005 pounds for extended hand use

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose hand finishing stick for use on metals and hard materials in tool-and-die, mold making, and precision machining applications. No specific equipment compatibility data was provided for this item.

Installation Notes

This finishing stick is a hand tool requiring no installation. Apply light, consistent pressure along the work surface and use a guide or fixture when working inside tight tolerances to avoid uneven abrasion. When working on hardened tool steel or similar materials, a light application of honing oil can extend the useful life of the stick and improve surface finish quality. Inspect the stick periodically for uneven wear and replace when the abrasive face is no longer producing a consistent result.
