Wet Tumbling

[MacFromOK]

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.

Hmmm... I wonder if spray-on bedliner/undercoat would work for that.

I bought a $25 dollar ice cream maker from hell(walmart) added 3 small aluminum pieces of angle stock to the sides of the container and viola !! I lean it on an angle in my shop and let her rip for about an hour with a couple of drops of Dawn and a smidgeon of lemishine. Works great.
Cheap and it works!!!

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

I use the spray-on rubber stuff you see advertised on TV. I get it at Wally World cheaper than you can order for. It's really tough stuff. I also coated the tank with it.

I started a wet tumbler treadmill project, but never finished. Dlbleak has it now. I ended up going with the Frankford Arsenal tumbler, I think it was ~ $150. It holds a lot of brass. Plenty of room for the amount I shoot.

Here's the one I got from okvet03
I wanted to get it all set up and running. Now I think I'll gut it out and build a box for it

If I could make an attachment to the treadmill so I could still use the treadmill, would be Aweschome!!!
