Abstract: This invention provides apparatus and processes for vibratory finishing of parts wherein the parts are attached to a vibrating head which has internal vibrating mechanism and mechanism for transmitting power to the vibrating mechanism in the vibrating head, then the vibrating head with the parts attached is submerged in the media and the parts vibrated to accomplish the desired finishing. This invention eliminates the necessity for any portion of the vibratory finishing apparatus to vibrate except for that portion which is submerged in the media, namely the vibrating head and attached parts, which is submerged in the media. The finishing provided by this invention is fast, quiet, efficient, effective and versatile.
