Who you are calling

Getting shops unstuck since 1988.

We are not a new name with a catalog and a quote form. We have built these machines, shipped them fast, and answered the phone after the sale for over three decades.

1988
In business since. Roughly 37 years building and backing these machines.

We have built and stood behind these machines since 1988. In that time the lesson never changed: when a shop's line is down, what they need is a machine on the floor and a person who picks up the phone, not a queue and a ticket number.

So we stock every size in Los Angeles, we put the price on the page, and the owner's cell is on every quote. That is the whole company, and it has worked since 1988.

Manufacturing and support

Made in South Korea. Backed in Los Angeles.

Our RW-6, CV8-600, RW-120 and RW-220 centrifugal barrel finishing machines are manufactured in South Korea. Richwood stocks and supports them from Gardena, California.

Build quality is something you should be able to inspect. Review the machine specifications, see the CV8-600 gear-drive assembly below, and talk with Kevin about the drive arrangement, maintenance and process requirements for your parts. A country label is the starting point, not a substitute for checking the machine.

Is the machine actually good?

Gear-driven where the stress lives.

This is the actual CV8-600 drive assembly. Its critical turret components run on gears. Kevin can walk you through the drive arrangement and maintenance requirements for the machine you are considering.

01Gear-driven turretThe critical, high-stress components are gear-driven, not chain or belt. Fewer wear parts, no slipping in greasy or humid shops, no chain slap, and steady power to every barrel.
02Precision bearingsHigh-grade bearings carry the load at full G-force, run after run, so the machine holds its finish quality over a long service life.
03Built to lastQuality components and tight fit and finish throughout. These machines are made to run hard and keep running.
Equipment and process engineering

A standard machine today. Room to grow tomorrow.

Richwood manufactures full-process finishing equipment, from an in-stock standard line to build-to-order systems.

Build around your parts

Our sales engineering team develops tailored process recipes. Match the equipment, media and compound to your material, geometry and finish target, then prove the process with a sample test.

Add capacity in stages

Modular-capable RW Series machines accept media separation and media return systems later. Electrical and mechanical provisions are pre-installed for plug-and-play additions. Kevin can confirm which model supports your planned upgrades.

Deburr, descale and burnish

Our capabilities include deburring, descaling, burnishing, polishing and cleaning. Choose from high-energy centrifugal tumblers, vibratory tubs and bowls, and our online media and compound store.

Owner-direct

You talk to the person who owns the inventory.

You talk to the owner. Kevin's line is on every quote and every machine page.

No call center

No rep layer, no ticket queue. When you call, you reach someone who can actually move a machine and confirm a price.

After the sale too

Setup over video the day it lands, media questions a year later. The relationship does not end when the PO clears.

A sister shop if you need it

Deburring Shop runs our equipment as a full-service finishing job shop. Need parts finished, not a machine? We have that too.

On the floor

Walk the floor before you buy.

Our standard centrifugal machines are stocked in Gardena. Visit in person or arrange a video demonstration before you commit. Vibra Finish bowls ship from Simi Valley, CA. For build-to-order systems, Kevin confirms the configuration and delivery schedule.
