Dear Cathy,

    I really don't think that stainless media are suitable for the
    typical low cost virbratory. The weight of the media greatly exceeds
    the intended load factor. On the other hand, while ceramic media are
    also somewhat heavy, they are not nearly as heavy as the stainless
    variety. I suggest that you switch to non abrasive ceramic media if
    you want the benefits of vibratory machines. Remember though that
    ceramic media have to be broken in.
