High quality 2lb Stone Tumbler, manufactured by Beach Lapidary right here in the UK. This machine is the perfect size as an introduction to rock tumbling, ideal for children or any other beginners to the hobby.
We'd suggest pairing this with one of our grit starter packs and a pack of mixed rough rock to give you everything you need to get started.
This machine would not be capable of running rubber barrels, so should only be used in conjunction with plastic barrels. Very low running cost, equivalent to a 20 watt light bulb.
Our beginner grit pack is everything you need for several tumble loads. This is a low cost option to get started and comes in resealable tubs. This pack contains one tub each of – F80 Course Grit [200g], F220 Medium Grit [200g], F400 Fine Grit [200g] and Pumice Polish Powder [100g].
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.
