Do any of you guys run a parts tumbler? If you do why did you pick the
style you use?


I run both a tumbler and several vibrators to clean brass cartridge
cases. Both work well. The shops I service tend to use open top
vibrating units simply because they are easier to unload and work as
well as tumblers

This is a very common size. About 25 cubic feet and they will seperate
the parts from the media when its time.

Tumblers..if loaded incorrectly...will bash parts together a lot
harder and cause more deformation. Aluminum parts..vibrators. Steel
parts with no great need for 16 finishes..tumbers are "ok"
