Jimini Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 I took note of a technique for cleaning brass in a tumbler using Stainless pins and balls of various shapes and sizes. This technique thoroughly cleaned the brass inside and out removing even the most stubborn carbon in the primer hole. (Primer had to be removed of course.) I would like to know if anyone is currently using this system and/or has anyone attempted to use the Stainless media in a vibratory cleaner.

glynnm45 Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 (edited) Look a few lines below this post and you will see how one Forum user "built his own tumbler". Its a WET tumbler, not a vibrator tumbler, and it works exceptionally well. I know, I built one myself. Elimitates dust and in the summer months at least, drying isn't a problem. I use only 5# of SS Media to 2 gal. of water, a little dish soap and LemiShine and hears what you get: Edited August 30, 2011 by glynnm45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you re-post it? Also, Did you use the pins or the balls and if balls, what size media did you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suicycle Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 I was interested in this very thing today. Has anybody tried any hard media in a vibratory tumbler? I was thinking ceramic beads or glass beads since I have some. Is this a bad idea? Only thing I can think of is the small glass getting in the flash hole, similar situation with small walnut though.
