I just recieved my newest toy....er... tool. Eastwood Vibratory Tumbler. I'm very excited about it. It should prove very useful around the shop. Right now it's running its maiden voyage. I put a bunch of body to pan brackets from the 56 bug into it with 7 pounds of Green Rust Cutting media. It takes about 3 to 7 hours to do it's thing, so the after shots will come tomorrow. Here is the before shot.

Cool...do they sell the different grades of polishing powders too? There is a red and green flake that can be used...

The Heavy Duty kit I got also came with a Dry Shine media. I'll throw the pieces in for that portion tomorrow and see how shiny those puppies can get. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

And what, no vibrator jokes yet. Sheesh. I guess the Sandbox really worked. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)

doh!!!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif)

I just realized I have "case tumbler" that I bought for cleaning expended brass from pistol and rifle rounds. Looks just like that (but it orange). It never even occured to me to use it for other polishing chores.

I need to do some research into different media types.

thanks (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) I have two of the orange ones for brass. One for cleaning and one for polishing.

A company I sold for had a machine that was about 6' across. They used it for taking the flashing off cast mag and alum risers for bows. They used the triangle shaped stones like in Marks pics but big ones about 1" tall

I was helping a friend move today, so they've only run about three hours. But they're running now and I'll take another picture later tonight when I turn it off. Here's what they look like now. You can see the large flat sections are looking really really nice, but the inside curves need more work. So far I'm really really pleased. I took a timeout to refresh the water since it was so coated in rust residue. I don't know if it'll help, but I thought I'd do it anyway.

I know this is very old thread, but since there are no other ones, how did the tumbler work out for you Mark?

Use it much over the years?

The reason I ask is Harbor Freight has this on sale coming up and wanted to know if its worth it

I've been waiting on the hf one for three weeks and their still out. I tried to use my cartridge case tumbler and put about 50 fender bolts and washers in it for a bug and the darn thing broke. It's about 25 years old but I guess I had too much weight in it.

Hey guys a company called Midway sells the brass cartridge vibirator , mine's big blue bowl, use treated walnut media in it. It will clean grungy range brass real good , might work on similar size objects just maybe a comparable weight range.
