DIY wet tumbler

[mtnboomer]

I use 10# of pins, Dawn dishwashing liquid and Lemi Shine and get the same results.

Didn't notice any issues. I did have a lot of water in the mixer and I think I will cut down on that for the next run.

mtnboomer, how many cases are you running with 10# of pins? the 1,000 with 5# look clean in the primer pockets and inside the case.

Dirt simple.. I like the split PVC inside for agitation of the brass and media. Way better bearing set than the commercial rigs with nylon bushings.

Here are some pics of a wet tumbler I just finished building.

Since this popped up, where did you get the belt and what size is it?
Thanks.

I have a couple of questions about the drum you built.

It looks like you used rivets to attach the fins to the drum, how have they held up over time? Are they still water tight? Did you use silicone around the rivets?

Any modifications you would make to the one that you built if you were to remake one?

Fenix, I replied to your PM. If you - or anyone else - has any questions, feel free to ask.
