New Tumbling Rough

in General Discussion

I picked up some tumbling rough from Fossock/Meeko's.

Ten pounds of Fortification Agate and Ten pounds of the Cathedral Glass.

Thanks for the heads up! I took the plunge and ordered two of them. The Lortone barrels have the same soft rubber thing going on so I have to use paper towels to prevent black marks on everything. Not great. Not an issue with the Nat Geo barrels.

I just want tumblers that can last a few years with great results that don't require a home equity loan or constant replacement! 🤔

This rock addiction has it's drawbacks! 😂

Nice! I hope that you have as good of luck with them as I have.

I was also surprised at how quite they are. I only use Spped 1. I have never used the other speeds. Speed 1 is much faster that most other tumblers that I have seen and see no point in using the faster speeds. The faster it spins, the chance there is of breakage and bruising of the stones.

I thought the same about the oil on the belt, I have never heard of oiling any type of belt before, but I did it anyway. I just suggested that you follow that instruction as well because it didn't seem to do any harm and they're still going strong with the original belts. I haven't had to replace one yet, so maybe it did do something. 🤷‍♂️
