Re: DIY Rotary Tumbler
Consider changing the bearings?
If I recall correctly, rebel use shaded pole motors for their tumbler (the same that are used in household desktop fans) I bought one a few (read around 10) years ago from a refrigeration company...

It wont be a drop in replacement, but some craftiness will get it to work I imagine.

Re: DIY Rotary Tumbler
Sorted out, well mostly. I just need to order a new slightly longer belt. (which I will do on Monday from BearingMan)
I bought a new 34W Fridge motor (EBM Papst)from Tecsareco and mounted it. It fitted nicely between the mounting brackets of the old motor and I only had to drill 4 new holes.
I had to make a new pulley. I used the old belt (albeit a bit tight) to test everything out and the drum revolves at just under 26rpm.
Can anyone who has a Rebel count the approximate RPM for me please.

Where are you from Clouds? What are you going to do with the old motor?

Re: DIY Rotary Tumbler
Ok, so I slapped my DIY tumbler together last night. I have tumbled around 1300 9mm cases since.
I clean my brass at work in an ultrasonic cleaner with a 4% acetic acid mix followed by Isopropanol.
This cleans the brass really well within 20minutes.
The brass gets a copper colour though and stains easily.
After dry tumbling with green corn cob and with some Maguire's car polish, it comes out really great.
Best of all, I use less than 50% of the force in the press during the various stages. Even the primers just slip in. It feels like working on a new press!
