    Hi Jason, this was like “the agate movie” the music was so relaxing and the agates were so exciting! Just when I’m thinking what an amazing agate you zoom in and it just gets better, I just couldn’t pick a favourite 😍🤩 Loved this video ❤️❤️

      MJR tumblers are poor quality. I purchased a 12lb from them and it arrived with a burned up motor and the tumblers didn't fit on the rails together as advertised. They sent a replacement, with the same tumbler issue. Both could not fit on the motor at same time. The tumblers are poor quality pvc pipe fitted together. They really dropped the ball on the tumblers. I now have 3 large thumler's that have been running non-stop since March. Only replaced one belt pulley. They absolutely are fantastic quality.

    Hello. I just got into tumbling. Can you tell me the difference between the rotary tumbler and the lot-o? Thanks :)

    • @RockhoundingLife
      @RockhoundingLife  3 года назад +2

      Sure thing!
      A rotary tumbler is the more traditional tumbler you see most people use. Its a barrel turning. Rotary tumblers can do more grinding in earlier stages so you can get them more rounded to the shape you desire. The Lot-O tumbler is a type of vibrating tumbler. Vibrating tumblers do not grind near as much. They pretty much polish your rocks as is. I use a combo of both. I use a rotary tumbler for stage 1 to shape the rock then transfer to the lot-o to for the rest of the stages as the lot-o uses way less grit and takes about a third of the time to finish.
      Hope that helps!
