Rotary Tumblers & Tumbing Media FAQ

Which is the best tumbler for jewelry polishing?

The best tumbler for jewelry polishing depends on your specific needs. For small, delicate items, a compact rotary tumbler is ideal. For higher volume or larger pieces, a heavy-duty rotary tumbler is recommended. We also offer a range of specialized media and compounds to help you achieve the perfect finish for any type of jewelry.

Do I need a separate tumbler for polishing different types of metals?

It is highly recommended to use separate media and barrels for different metal types, especially if you are working with both precious metals (like gold and silver) and base metals. This prevents cross-contamination, which can tarnish or damage your finished pieces.

How do I choose the right bur for my specific project?

The size of your polishing media should be chosen based on the size and shape of your workpieces. Smaller media, such as pins or small balls, are great for reaching intricate details and holes. Larger media is more effective for burnishing flat surfaces and heavier pieces.

Are these tumblers noisy?

Rotary tumblers operate by constantly tumbling items, which can generate some noise. While the sound is generally not disruptive, it is similar to a continuous low hum. For best results and to minimize noise, we recommend placing the machine on a stable, flat surface and using a mat to absorb vibrations.

How much polishing media should I use per cycle?

As a general rule, the polishing media should fill the barrel to a level of about 60-75% capacity. This allows enough room for the items to tumble freely and ensures optimal contact with the media. Using too little or too much media can reduce the polishing efficiency and increase the risk of damaging your items.
