Electropolishing is a critical process in achieving smooth, corrosion-resistant surfaces on metal parts, particularly stainless steel. For industries requiring precision, tabletop electropolishing machines offer an efficient and compact electropolishing solution.
What is a Tabletop Electropolishing Machine?
A tabletop electropolishing machine is a compact unit designed for the electropolishing of small- to medium-sized parts. These machines are ideal for laboratory use, prototyping, and small-scale production. They provide a cost-effective solution for achieving high-quality electropolishing finishes on metals like stainless steel, cobalt chrome, brass, and copper.

Electropolishing Machine Descriptions
Our electropolishing equipment polishes metallic parts to ensure repeatable, micro-tolerance surface roughness finishing for medical equipment, aerospace parts, and industrial parts. Electropolishing reduces the expense and surpasses the quality of standard mechanical polishing.
Our small tabletop electropolishing equipment is especially well-suited for laboratory use and prototyping of small- to medium-sized parts or medical instruments. Tank volume for tabletop electropolishing equipment typically ranges from 0.5 to 2 gallons, but with an external tank, it can be as much as 15 gallons. Also called benchtop electropolishing machines, these units are available with either 24-volt or 48-volt power supply rectifiers.
1085 – Half-Gallon Capacity
299 – 1-Gallon Capacity
399 – 2-Gallon Capacity
782-EP – 1-Gallon Capacity with 2 Ultrasonic Cleaning Tanks
Benefits of Using Tabletop Electropolishing Machines

- Versatility: Suitable for a variety of metals, including stainless steel and cobalt chrome.
- Compact Design: Ideal for electropolishing laboratories and small workshops with limited space.
- Cost-Effective: Lower initial investment compared to large-scale electropolishing equipment.
Key Features of Electropolishing Equipment
- Tank Volume: Typically ranges from 0.5 to 2 gallons, with options for external tanks up to 15 gallons.
- Power Supply: Available with 24-volt or 48-volt rectifiers for efficient operation.
- Material Compatibility: Effective for stainless steel, cobalt chrome, brass, copper, and more.
- Portability: The small size allows it to become a portable electropolishing machine when needed to move from one area of a plant floor to another.
Common Applications for Tabletop Electropolishing Equipment
- Medical Devices: Electropolishing and deburring of stainless steel and cobalt chrome for stents, guide wires, and leads.
- Industrial Parts: Polishing of stainless steel 300 series to reduce surface roughness and for burr removal.
- Medical Tools: Polishing of surgical and dental tools, and other fragile, irregularly-shaped products.
Common Configurations for Bench Top Electropolishing Machines
All electropolishing machines can be made with 24V or 48V rectifiers and have digital timers and temperature controls as options.
