The tumbler certainly doesn't compare to bead blasting. Basically, it didn't impress me much and it sits idle most of the time. If anyone wants to buy it and give it a shot, let me know.

Vibratory finishing is a whole industry in itself. Is great to clean spent brass when reloading ammo. I went to a place that made the small plastic parts that go in there. They have different Silicone Carbide grit in the plastic and as the media vibrates it cuts into the metal.
A solution of some kind is much faster. Remember Navel Jelly. I saw a UTube Video on Citric Acid on rust removal. Small bolts are a pain in the ass to holds in the blast cabinet. Bruce has worked something out for replaying screws and small parts that makes it somewhat easer. Bob |

Are you saying or suggesting putting navel jelly or some other solution in the vibratory tumbler? Or saying the solutions work better? I love these drugs...

My HF one does take forever, but it's nice to just chuck a bunch of nuts, bolts, and washers in there and forget about them...
I only used the dry media (green pyramids). I don't think these units are designed for a wet media, but maybe that's just mine. |

My wife is sitting next to me hating the music on You Tube. Bob |
