[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3717614, member: 15054"] We have a lot of new guys here to the reloading and I thought I would bring up this topic again. Please feel free to tell about your tumbler and post some pictures. My pin tumbler was made from a treadmill that i got during big trash.. someone stuck it to the curb. Nodric Track and it had a DC motor in it and rollers at the front a rear and had a small ribbed belt to drive one of the rollers. I mounted the rollers into an old steel file cabinet and mounted the motor and added duct tape to the powered roller to give my container traction to spin. I also stuck tape o the container to dampen the harshness and give more traction. The container is a 2 quart V8 bottle. My pins are cut from stranded copper wire like 4 gauge THHN. I clean 1 quart worth of brass in this 2 quart bottle and add lemishine and hot water and about 1/8 teaspoon of dawn or Wash and wax. This deal pulls less than 2 amps at 12 volts. Here are a couple pictures.. My 2 year old grandson is helping. I have the amount of Lemishine I use in my hand and this much will allow me to be finished tumbling in 1 hour.
