Got a new brass tumbler


Recommended Posts

Posted

Got a good deal on a new brass tumbler today. Going to replace metal paddles with plastic or wood. David gave me the idea at the last gunshow. Hoping to do 4-5000 at a time. I've got about 90 lbs of media. May try to rig something up with stainless media also. Will keep ya posted.

Looks just like my Martini mixer.

Got it for $80 off craigslist, never had concrete in it. The guy used it for mixing manure and compose. It's made by central machine, which I wasn't enthused about. Hopefully it will hold up to turning brass. If motor craps out I will get a gas motor. :)

I'd be worried about the brass abrasion against the metal tub. Might ruin some brass pieces if tumbled for very long. If this happens maybe some spray-on rubber could fix it.

May look into rubber spray coating, after I get caught up on my tumbling. I will probably dump it back on craigs list or here on TGO. Iam guessing there will be more intrest in it as a cement mixer than a brass tumbler.

So just how much brass you got sitting around needing to be tumbled might I ask? I'm seeing (4) regular tumblers sitting in your garage in the background and you still need to get caught up? :)

Just a couple couple hundred. :)

There is actually a 5th tumbler under them on the ground by the orange steel plates. (good eye) Another reason why people should be cautious of they post. :ugh:
