Cali_Ed Posted December 6, 2014 Report Posted December 6, 2014 My own stainless media tumbler. I'm to impatient to use my small harbor freight one so as soon as I'm done building this I will return the other one and get my money back. Here's where I am now I acquired the motor. Next step is the build a stand for it. Stay tuned
sketch Posted December 6, 2014 Report Posted December 6, 2014 You can make haste with two tumblers! Rock and roll!
Cali_Ed Posted December 6, 2014 Author Report Posted December 6, 2014 Thinking of using a 3.5 gallon bucket or a 5 gallon bucket how much brass do you wrecking I can tumble in that? Including the ss media and water?
DNP Posted December 6, 2014 Report Posted December 6, 2014 How about a 55 gallon drum on rollers? Mount a motor off to the side to rotate it and a vibe plate underneath.....you could get some poop done with that.

sketch Posted December 7, 2014 Report Posted December 7, 2014 I think Jerry Meculik has a vid using a cmu mixer?
Cali_Ed Posted December 7, 2014 Author Report Posted December 7, 2014 Yeah I seen his video. That's a lot of brass.
DNP Posted December 7, 2014 Report Posted December 7, 2014 Guys who spend a lot of time on the 800meter line go through a lot of brass I hear. Probably a rumor.
Cali_Ed Posted December 11, 2014 Author Report Posted December 11, 2014 I've been a bit lazy, I made this today. Made a make shift base just to guage it a bit. Most likely will be something like this. Just need to get a piece of ply wood to put on the top. Still debating between a 2 gallon or 3.5 gallon bucket. I'm thinking the 2 gallon would suffice for the time being.

He loads .50 BMG's for sale so needs the volume....
Cali_Ed Posted December 12, 2014 Author Report Posted December 12, 2014 Today I came this far, taking it home so I can figure out on mounting the motor, the side panel I'm debating for mounting the electronic board and the speed controller Money spent so far $0.00
ponce Posted December 12, 2014 Report Posted December 12, 2014 One friend uses a plastic barreled cement mixer.
