This Beach rock tumbling machine with a 3lb barrel is a great option for anyone looking to upgrade from a 2lb barrel. The larger capacity allows for heavier loads to be tumbled with ease.
Here's why you'll love it:
- Larger capacity barrel makes tumbling larger stones or heavier loads easy.
- Option to alternate between a single 3lb barrel or two 1.5lb barrels should you wish to have those as spares.
- Low energy usage makes it an efficient to run machine.
This machine would also be capable of running rubber barrels should you desire to upgrade the barrels in the future.
How much energy does it use?
How much energy does it use?
Our 2lb and 3lb machines use very efficient, 20W motors. If left running over the course of a month, expect to use somewhere between 14-15 kWh of electricity, this would probably cost £3-£4 a month.
Is it okay to stop the tumbler for a few hours or overnight?
Is it okay to stop the tumbler for a few hours or overnight?
Yes, it is fine to stop the tumbler for brief periods (a few hours) to inspect the rocks, change the grit, or take a break.
However, do not leave the rocks sitting in the slurry for more than 12-24 hours without turning, especially in the final stages. The slurry can start to dry and harden, cementing the grit to the rocks or the barrel walls, making cleanup difficult and potentially leading to contamination.
