Comments about Thumlers Tumbler Thumler's Tumbler Rotary Rock Tumbler:
See the large white plastic washer at the left corner of the machine? During the first 12 hours of operation, the black rubber drum made contact with the white washer. This caused the drum to abrade, leaving debri like what you would have if you rubbed a black eraser aggressively on conrete. It was easy to rig a solution, but this problem should have been solved by the tumbler's designers.

Comments about Thumlers Tumbler Thumler's Tumbler Rotary Rock Tumbler:
This was the first rock tumbler that I ever bought. It worked reasonably well (compared to other models that I've owned)for the first month or so but as I was inexperienced at this at the time, I accidentally put too large of a load in and the motor burnt out. Now normally this shouldn't be too much of a problem, however, this model makes it impossible to fix/change the motor due to the motor being encased in a box that is welded to the main body. In the end, I had to throw it out and never got to fully polish any rocks with this.

Comments about Thumlers Tumbler Thumler's Tumbler Rotary Rock Tumbler:
I hand forge metal jewelry and I wanted a tumbler to clean and polish my pieces. I was concerned because this is the low end tumbler for Thumbler but I have used this everyday since I received in early March. This little machine is amazing, there is no barrell rub-off as in other cheaper makes and the results have been super. I clean anything metal that will fit in it. You cannot go wrong with this Tumbler. I have no desire for anything else as you sometimes do when you buy the beginner model of some things. Also Hayneedle was great to deal with.
