All About the Cibo Finimaster Keyway Burnisher

The Finimaster Keyway Burnisher. The fabricators essential friend. For grain, sanding blending & finishing.

Introducing the Cibo Finimaster Keyway burnisher machine. After listening to our customers we can bring the next generation keyway hand held drum sander.

All the advantages of traditional keyway burnishing machines with additional technology developed on our Finimaster Pro machine including a new flexible hood & handle to increase flexibility on curved surfaces and for tube polishing.

What Can the Finimaster Keyway Burnisher Do?

Sheet graining with abrasives sleeves on tyres, rubber wheels or Tex and combination brushes
Tube polishing with the FMGRT grip belts and the tube belt drive wheel
Mirror polishing with sisal and airflow polishing mops
Satin polishing with FMTA Tex brushes

– Graining & Satin Finishing Steel Stainless, Aluminium & Brass

We always recommend using the keyway burnisher machines with a 100mm inflatable wheel when working with abrasive sleeves. All our kits will have an inflatable tyre in the kit rather than a solid rubber wheel. On request there is the option of using the FMRU ventilated rubber wheels.

FMRU ventilated rubber wheels will give a higher aggression for the abrasive sleeves but it will also leave chatter marks in the final grain finish.

The FMNU374 inflatable wheel allows for much more control and with the right Cibo ceramic abrasive sleeves such as our FX87 materials you will have as much aggression as you need.

– Scale Removal on Stainless Steel with the FX87 sleeves on the Finimaster Keyway Burnishing Machine

With a 1700 watt motor and all the torque you could every need the Cibo Finimaster burnisher is easily capable of removing scale on stainless steel angle with the FX87 ceramic abrasive sleeves.

Use the Cibo FX87 40 grit 293 x 100mm sleeves to achieve the finish shown in this video.

– Tube Sanding and Polishing with Finimaster Grip Belt Drive Wheel

With the new flexible handle the Finimaster keyway can be operated on tube polishing like the Finimaster Pro. Release the Key lock on the hood to allow the head to move and then roll around the tube with the grip sanding and polishing belts.

Abrasive grip belts are available from 40 grit up to felt polishing belts. Our most popular belts are the FMGRT Tex grip belts for satin finishing stainless tube.

– Unique Velcro Belt Fixing System

One of the key benefits of the Finimaster Pro kit is it’s flexibility. Included with the Set 2 is a drive wheel for running the velcro belt system. Ideal for sanding tubes.

The abrasive and tex belts are bonded to a velcro fixing system allowing the belts to be run ‘inside out’. Using the flexible hood on the Finimaster the operator can then cover a full 360 degrees around the tube.
