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.
This kit comes with everything you need to get tumbling, including three stages of grit and one polish powder, each in a resealable tub. Plus, you'll get 1KG of mixed rough rock, meaning you can start tumbling straight away.
The grit pack contains one tub each of – F80 Course Grit [200g], F220 Medium Grit [200g], F400 Fine Grit [200g] and Pumice Polish Powder [100g].
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.
Please note: rocks shown in the picture are roughly 500g worth, you'll receive approx double the amount shown.

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.
