The industrial-grade unmounted lathe wire wheels for producing instant, large-surface sandblast textures and rich matte effects on metals without the gritty mess of blasting powders. Achieving uniform, reproducible satin surfacing on expansive jewelry plates, large castings, or production-grade mold cavities requires heavy-duty rotary instruments. The ORO® MaxiMat Texturing Wheel arranges clusters of high-elasticity tempered steel wires within a reinforced, color-coded polymer hub. Engineered to mount directly onto standard tapered bench lathe spindles, this large-format wheel leverages centripetal force to deliver clean, multidirectional micro-peening impacts—yielding flawless sandblast textures right at your main polishing station.
Advantages
-
Clean, Dust-Free Blasting Alternative: Achieves professional sandblast effects via mechanical micro-peening tips. This completely removes the airborne grit hazards, heavy inhalation risks, and extensive cabinet cleanup tracking common with loose aluminum oxide blasting systems.
-
Two Specialized Wire Tip Geometries: Available in two distinct filament architectures to generate completely different micro-peened topography:
-
Straight Filament Configuration (Straight): The steel wires run perfectly straight to the perimeter. Provides a classic, tight-grained, and silky satin frosting.
-
Angled/L-Shape Configuration (Angled): The wire tips feature a precision-bent 90° hook alignment. This increases the contact impact area, producing a highly dimpled, rustic, and coarse sandblast texture.
-
-
Calibrated Lathe Spindle Core: Features a secure, precision-centered through-hole hub designed to wedge cleanly and lock tightly onto standard tapered bench lathe shafts without vibration or runout.
