tumbler for noob

[jcwit]

I use nothing more than crushed walnut pet bedding, a cap full of Nu finish, and this tumbler! Tumble for 2-3 hours. Works great, and very cost effective!

You actually are letting you toddler around this contaminated procedure?

Youngsters this age are very susceptible to the permanent effect of lead poisoning, but it is your family.

I don't care for corncob media. I have to clean the primer pockets on every shell casing. Always some stuck in there.

Bought my 1292 tumbler (looks just like the Frankfort Arsenal unit pictured earlier) from Midway in 1992. Still running strong and quiet.

Are you depriming before you tumble? Try depriming after you tumble.

Didn't think about the consistency as compared to the walnut media. Walnut media doesn't get stuck, seems to be a finer media. It also seems to be more coarse.

If in fact you're having to clean out primer pockets and flash holes you are using to large a media grind. Head out to Graingers, or on line DrillSpot or Zorro supplies and order 20/40 grit corn cob. Your problems will be solved and this will clean/polish brass just as well.

Good Luck

Bumping again in case it wasn't seen.... Best to move that to the garage.

I made the mistake of having mine in doors for about a year before moving them to the garage... I was shocked when I dropped something under my bench and saw just how much red residue had collected on my baseboard under the bench from the walnut media...
