Re: Tumbling Parts -reskinning ALUMINUM
Here is some pics of what I use. It's not the typical home use barrel tumbler. Much more to it and more rotation to the tumble. The parts corkscrew around clockwise in a circular motion while the media does the same. Most of the parts are finished in 1 hour. I run alloy's a bit longer. The media can play hell, getting stuck inside parts esp. the smaller pieces of media that have broken down. The Harrell style clamps (304 sst.)I made for Bill went thru after a glass bead to get a killer finish.
