Default Vibratory tumblers

That is odd indeed. I think now I have the 10 and got the 25 consumables.

I put in small quarter and 50 cent and dime size steel that have melted steel
on the edges - from plasma cutting - and have ceramic rhombic shaped ceramic
that THEY sell as a part number. They also sell round/octal chunks that are
different in actions. I'll try them next. I've almost rounded these and they
are still working. It works wet or dry - and has a drain an drip in port.

There isn't a frequency spec. It is multi-modal in action.

It isn't a vibration tank - I have one as well. Those are frequency defined.

It sounds like you want a cleaning tank not a vibration polisher.

The tank is plastic - thick rubber type. It goes up/down and side to side.
Internally it rolls the material in a form like a donut - the center is
a 'post' cone like - that bolts on the lid.

A part has to be sized to the opening on one side and small enough to drive
up/down. in the cycle.

What are you trying to to - and what is the size ?
I'd have to take a measure to mine.

I'm running a double handful of 60 parts through my Raytech with Rombic
ceramic as I type. I'll go out and check them tomorrow.

The bowl is thick and has liquid capability.

What questions do you have and what size of material is it that you want to
do ? As I recall I have the TV5 -

The material in my bowls roll. I turn it on and it is mixing the ceramic.
I add a layer of work to the top and it is turned in and mixed in a
random motion. Movie is possible.

I am a bit concerned about Raytech. I e-mailed them about the TV5 and
TV10 and got some contradictory info. I am looking at GoodVibes which
seem to be popular in Canada. I can get a decent sized one for $259
with free shipping.

Meanwhile I am shaking boxes of rice and cereal to the amusement of my
wife. The purpose is to study what is the most effective movement
imparted to the box to get the media tumbling. My theory is that there
is more than one way to skin that particular cat.

Then there is the whole thing of hunting down the media...
