Unless you want it to break after 3 weeks, that is. What a POS. I
bought it to show what rock tubling is, to my kids. I sort of knew
that it is junk, and bought an extended warranty, but all it give me
is the right to get another POS.
I went through the usual labour pains before I decided on mine. Rather
than
going the cheap way I splashed out on Thumler's UV10 (Industrial) and so
far
I have not regretted it.
BTW do not use cat litter silica crystals wet...or dry for that matter
(the
dust is awful).
That is a vibratory tumbler, and mine was a rotary.
I actually do have a vibratory tumbler, called Nova 501HT (see
novafinishing.com). It is not as good for rounding rocks,
however. Otherwise it is great.

Ah. Several people sent me links to the HF vibratory tumbler. I did not know
they did the rotary ones too.
But thanks for the links. That Nova 501HT looks a serious machine. BTW is
this where you get your media from? $1.50 +/- per lb of ceramics is very
good. I wonder if they ship to Canada...
