Yet another rotary tumbler..
I've been planning the construction of this tumbler for a while. The motor is probably overkill, but I can easily tumble 1000s of cases and I designed it for wet tumbling with ss media and the associated extra weight.
At this stage I tumble with rice and polish, because I'm still saving for ss rods. Currently thinking of buying Afrox TIG 316 rods and cutting them up.
On the pictures the support rods are bare because the bicycle inner tire tubes I had wrapped around wore through. Still need to wrap them with something more resistant to the friction. Maybe hosepipe.

Unbelievable. Surely you need a license for that thing?

Flip man, that is a stunning piece of work.
You must have a M230 chain gun to keep the brass up to that tumbler!!
Very impessive.

Re: Yet another rotary tumbler..
That's a serious tumbler! If you are going to tumble so much brass, why don't you use water and dishwashing liquid? Works well enough for me.
