Re: DIY Rotary Tumbler
I rinse my pins well and then drop them in two plastic buckets I use as part of my seperating process and leave them in the sun with my cases so they get dryer I am not too bothered if they don't get 100% dry I just don't leave them wet... If that makes sence

Drum speed calculator
Going to necro this thread, since it's so helpful and deserves to be brought back to life...
I , like many others, was struggling to calculate all the different rotational speeds for a drum. So I have created an easy to use EXCEL spreadsheet, using a calculation I found online somewhere. You enter known variables like motor rpm, motor pulley dia, etc and the spreadsheet will calculate your DRUM RPM. You can play around with variables until your desired drum speed (no load) is reached.

I disconnected the timer and placed it on a plank on a bucket for incase the lid pops open (therefore avoiding a bunch of brass and SS pins on my garage floor). Has only happened twice so far, so I limit the amount of brass I tumble, so far for the price this is pretty good solution for me.
Edit: And I've been using this method for about 2 years.
