Instructions
Vibratory Tumblers offer thorough, gentle cleaning - Automatically - Now you can thoroughly clean and polish small pieces and hardware without the risk of getting them "launched" by a wire wheel. Gentle vibratory tumbling action with the Green Light-Cut Media removes rust from nuts and bolts without rounding edges. Simply stop the tumbler when parts are de-rusted. A brilliant luster can then be achieved by using the Dry Shine Media. The vibratory action works more quickly than a rotating tumbler.

I don’t have an Eastwood one, but one that appears identical. A bit of a novelty tool which isn’t as effective as some other cleaning or polishing methods, however it significantly reduces the amount of time needed to otherwise stand in front of a bench grinder or blast cabinet, and really does an impressive job as polishing small parts, especially those too small to easily hold against a buffing wheel. These aren’t expensive, and I would totally recommend one if you frequently clean and polish small parts.
Guys, just saw you sponsored Ronald Finger with an abrasive cabinet, nice work. He could use one of your tumblers for hardware on his restoration. His Fiero resto is pretty great considering how bad it was.
My 5lb tumbler after 5 tumble sessions of about 2 days each was working fine, then the next session on the 2nd day when I checked it had splatter all over the outside. I cleaned it all up and washed my items with a soap rinse. 3 days later when I wanted to use it again it just hummed but won’t vibrate. What do I do. It’s only a few months old
I want to restore model engine parts - most are aluminum - that have been stained and discolored from heat and fuel. Would this be a good unit for accomplishing that? What would be the recommended media? THANKS
Can I use this machine to remove worn gold plate traces from stainless steel car mascots?
If yes, but it will take a very long time if you only use the dry polisher media,
Then can this machine be run continuously for days if not weeks at a time?
Ta.
is ceramic polishing abrasive media supposed to shine metal parts? It just makes mine very dull.
"wash" (acid concentrate) "eastwood secret" (literally just acid) . try powder tannic acid, and fine media sand to get glassy smooth parts on old tools and others, great tool to have for hand tool restoration, personally i prefer the rolling drum kind, the rolling action is more violent and allows me to use finer media for the cleaning and cuts down on polishing time, (not like i do this frequently at all) just use some sand blasting sand and tannic acid, about 2 tablespoons per quart.
In water, or dry?
Will it remove paint from small engine parts?
Looking for a product that can remove slag and sharp edges from small hand plasma cut parts. 1”x1”x1/8” roughly. The parts would need to be dull to the hand but not super clean.
Does the tumbler affect anodization on metals?
Yes
Can you use this to get motocycle Carbs to a Shinny Finish as to buffing for hours?
Probably not a great idea to put carbs into this, same reason you wouldn't sandblast a carb. Too many tiny passages that can get clogged or damaged and affect the way the carb works. If you get some sort of rubber sheet and clamp it over the intake and engine-side carb mouths and plug up all the other spigots and such - maybe you could use a non-aggressive media in a tumbler to try to get a shine on the aluminum.
I would think that putting an acidic liquid in there would eventually start to corrode the center spine that the bowl clamps to. No?
How much can you put in
Can I polish resin parts?
Do you clean it out each time
You don't have to clean it out each time.
size of parts?
Do these tumblers work for gun parts? To polish them and get them to a glass finish?
Many people use them for bullet casings.
Do they work well for polishing safeties, triggers, hammers, other components other than casings
I've never used a tumbler for those parts, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. You would likely use the Dry Shine media, which isn't aggressive. You can call an Eastwood Tech to discuss: 800.343.9353
I want to buy set of bead roller tell me how?
The hardware still looked like it needed a few more hours.
i can do all those in 10 min with my media blaster.
You people are crazy expecting 300 dollars for a tumbler.
this should be a 5 minute video... gyst
