Wet Tumbling

[Mad Professor]

I emptied my first bottle of LemiShine today. There is no telling how many loads it too to consume it 1/8-1/6th a teaspoon at a time!!

Nice! I've seen some built out of shortened treadmills also.

I looked at several "factory made" wet tumblers, but most had a small-capacity tanks and tiny (usually 1/5 hp) motors. I wanted something that would handle much larger loads. My tank is a 17" long piece of 6" PVC, and the motor is a 1/3 hp. It's geared to tumble at 40 rpm (+/-).

What did you use on the driving/driven shaft for traction?

I've made a discovery that is shocking and painful. I make something and it looks like crap and may or may not work.
Everyone else makes something and it looks great and performs flawlessly.
KARMA I'M SORRY SO GIVE ME A BREAK

Can't. Karma has made me it's personal hand puppet.

That's awesome. I'm just not that creative - I have the Thumbler's Tumbler. Compared to your setup, you've got better for less money. Do you get any PVC shavings or debris after tumbling? The Thumbler's Tumbler has a rubber lining in the drum.
