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...

I got the media on the cart with the machine at the factory that went
bankrupt. Two half full buckets and a box of ceramic media of various
coarseness, and this vibratory tumbler. I also have some corn cob
media (way too much; anyone wants some cheap?). I was going to polish
a big jar's worth of pennies with the kids this weekend.


Lucky man.

I got my corncob from the pet store for $6/ 1.8 kg. Enough to fill the bowl
and have a lot left over. I run some brass in it but it has limitations.
Right now I have a batch going in rouge-treated walnut shells. Somebody
mentioned adding Brasso - I wonder how much per batch.

As I said I tried a silica crystals cat litter on some steel parts. The
results were surprisingly good but if run dry, the silica dust is awful and
if wet, clumping occurs (duh, it's cat litter!)

I want the ceramics for steel parts and also plastics for de-burring brass -
I am not sure the nut shells will do that job well.
