What is the difference between the single and double barrel machines?

Single Barrels – Maximum load in one go, but you have to wait for each stage to be completed before moving onto the next.

Double Barrels – Allows you to have two separate smaller loads tumbling in unison but at different stages of the process. It also helps the barrels last longer by separating the medium. The Double Barrel machine is our most popular line since it makes tumbling much easier and quicker. A 3lb tumbling machine can take two lots of 1.5lb loads at different stages running at the same time.

Do I need anything else?

Many people prefer to buy extra separate barrels to ensure that they keep the different grits and polish in each barrel to avoid contamination and to avoid wear and tear. If you are purchasing a tumbler without the starter kit, then you will require the grits – 80 and 400 grade Silicon Carbide and Pumice Powder are the most recommended. You may also wish to consider our ‘Rough Rock’ which is ideal for starting out. This pack contains lots of different rock types and colours.

How long does it take to tumble stones or rocks?

It takes around 10 days depending on how rough the rock is and the hardness. The tumbler needs to be running constantly and ‘must not’ be stopped.
