I used a vibrating finisher for 50 plus years in my shop, had rotating barrels too. The process is an art and not a science Many variables, run time, media shape and composition, quantity of media in drum, quantity of parts in drum, media compound and volume of water. Yes water! It appears you did not know about adding water. Water is an important component as is the soap compound, which keeps the media pours clean, open and cutting You should also obtain a dry rust inhibiting compound to be mixed into a solution and be kept in a separate container into which the finished parts are dipped Some parts require long run times and depending on how much water evaporates you will need to add more The volume of water has a great influence on cutting speed Drain the water into some sort of settling tank and not directly into your drain as it carries fines from the media breaking down and will eventually block your drain There is more to know but with this you will be off to a good start Oh, forgot to say, the intensity of the vibration is also controllable To intense may damage your parts I don’t recommend running dry These were made to run wet Good luck!

Thanks for the info. I have no intention of running dry, just did it for this one batch. As soon as the upgrades are done, I'll be running wet with a rust inhibitor solution from Giant.
I used to do insurance inspections at various engineering companies here in the UK, one of which specialises in component finishing. I was always amazed by the number of different sorts of tumbling media that they used. They had a big local customer base of small to medium engineering companies, that used them for finishing various components, of all materials from copper and brasses, through stainless and titanium. Always an interesting visit.
Congratulations on a the new addition, not what I was expecting but makes perfect sense. Finishing parts efficiently and safely will definitely add value for your customers
We had the same brand of tumbler when I worked at the shock absorber company in Buffalo. It is truly an industrial unit. You will love it when you add the soap injector. ---Doozer
Takes me back to high school days back in the late 80's. I worked in an alternator rebuild shop. We used a wheel-a-brator with cylindrical shaped porcelain media and a citrus based solvent flowing over it to clean the housings.
We've got one of those at work for bulk parts deburring. Plan ahead for running it wet by having a settling tank for the drained dust when you empty the liquid. You'll get a mix of clay from the media and metal dust, likely rust as you're running steel/iron parts. Also keep it treated with anti-algae/fungus chemicals so it doesn't become a terrarium! Even if you drain it after use, the media bed will be damp a long time. Have fun with it!
You probably already know ... but Harbor Freight sells "finish media" (crushed walnut and separately ground corn cob) that will polish your parts to a high luster. They sell it in bulk boxes and so far it's been priced reasonably.
Good to see you first thing in the morning!!!! We had a tumbler but it was like 15 feet long. We did not use it very much. I am glad that you found one that you like. I like that the new base will make it portable. I sure wish that I could get my shop set up and going but health issues are in the way. It is always good to see your projects. Good job on the video.
I used one of these units to clean up stainless steel stampings. We used water with a few drops of dish soap to keep the dust down. They do a good job on sharp edges and burrs.
Another great addition to the shop! If you keep adding machines.. you're going to need a bigger shop! 😃 The gray primered parts on the floor look interesting.... is that an upcoming video?
Those parts were actually for the lumberjack world championship in Hayward WI. We were on a time crunch to get them done and out to them before the show last month. So, no video.
nice new machine for the shop well done on the research and such i like the bit where it separates the parts saves digging for them and if not quite ready nicking yourself on the part Cheers from North Queensland Australia
Need your water running. I didn't see them really deburring much, a little, but not much. You could leave those parts in there forever and it won't wear them away. Need a settling tank for the water or it will plug your drain. Very good at cleaning parts. Very good at plugging drains too.
We have a bowl type tumbler that we use with ceramic media at my workplace. I run it with water and a few drops of dish detergent. That parts separator is great. We have to fish for the parts or keep them on a string. I also built a timer for it and then added a pause button so I could check on the parts along the way. I visited a machine shop that was making small engines for RC planes and they had a series of tumblers that finished with walnut shell. The finish was beautiful. A tumbler is one of those machines that people don't think much about but are critical to getting parts done, finished properly and without taking too much time.
That's Fantastic, 4 parts To Look Refurbished, that's ur Machine Josh ! Deburring in this is a Next Level Achievement. It really doesn't take long Eh Josh ? Have Fun Take Care B Safe 🇨🇦
Very cool, been looking forward to a new video coming out Mr Topper, Looks like it's going to be a great addition to the shop. Looking forward to the next installment. From kiwi land
Nice. Consider that when you were standing on the pallet, the mass your body added was the primary reason the performance improved. This is by design an "out of balance" device and if the machine can move freely, a lot of the cleaning motion dissipates into moving the machine instead of moving the media and contents of the tub. Since you want to keep it mobile/portable..............consider building your base out of steel with provisions for adding rigid mass/ballast to the base so that the tub and contents react to the unbalance forces and not the machine itself. I thought I heard you mention that you would make it "forkable" and that would be much better than having it on a cart with wheels (unless the cart had a way to lift the wheels and set the cart frame directly on the floor).
Wheels are an absolute no go. It will be heavy steel base with probably added ballast and adjustable leveling feet. It's all planned out and soon to be built.
I remember running one of those in a fab shop I worked at. This was years ago, but I remember there was some sort of liquid added to the media for lubrication.
Nice one for sure Josh, great addition to the shop. Customer satisfaction is #1....Ive found if ya add in 10# of ground walnut shells to the ceramics and pour in one can of brasso and run it all in liquid or in your case, with the liquid injection system, the finish will be phenomenal. (substitute with corn cobs vice walnuts for aluminum and softer metals, brass, bronze, etc) Don
I have used an old mortar mixer to tumble rusty old wrenches and other rusty parts. Because it was old parts I used cheap granite chicken grit. I do it out side and use water to keep the dust down. If it’s a sunny day I dry them in the sun.
Might be worth the effort to break the big burr from the saw off with pliers before going into the tumbler, it could be done while the saw is cutting the next piece and take up virtually no extra time?
here in California that is a machine you would store and use outside ,with perhaps an open cover....I feel for your weather struggles.......I guess you would have to keep it warm in winter...and have antifreeze in the mix??
I have a C&M Topline machine. It’s not as big as yours, but after having it for a year, I wouldn’t be without it. We run mineral spirits in ours, mostly the clean parts and for the luxury of not ending up with rust on our parts. We tried the specialty soap that was supposed to keep things from rusting, but we didn’t have very good luck with it, everything rusted. I ended up putting mine in the back room and bolting it into the floor, with a door between it and us, we put a six cylinder valve cover in it and left it run for about an hour, it looks like a wet rag that you tried to ring out, totally unusable, it was a junk valve cover that we just wanted to see how well it would clean
You need to run the machine with a solution of water and burnishing compound. The liquid adds lubricity and improves cutting action and improves the final finish. It also lengthens the work lifespan of the media. Hammond Roto finish XL-309 would work well for you, it is what I use deburring and surface finishing pocket knife parts after milling and grinding.
Since I have many upgrades to do, getting all of that built and setup is priority before actually putting into service. Adding the solution will be the last step of the upgrades.
Nice addition Josh to your shop. Looking forward to seeing it used on other parts and applications. Sounds like you do this process as a offered service as well. Share with us if that is so and how we could get additional information from you if that is the case. Thanks for sharing.
That's a bad ass machine. The seperation feature to remove the parts is amazingly helpful i bet especially for small parts. Save a lot of grief looking for little bits. I bet you could do about 5000 .223 cases in there! LOL I'm sure the palet stand you build will be steel and I'll bet that will solve all the vibration issues.
That's a very interesting machine, I've never seen anything like that previously, having never worked in an industry where one would be used. It looks like it will be very useful and save all the manual de-burring work.I wonder what the running cost will be, with electricity and replacement media and chemicals. No doubt you'll have it all set up with the new base soon and making good use of it.
You would do a lap more beautiful job if you would add just a little bit of a WD 40, that’s actually when ceramic abrasive starts working. You don’t need much of a liquid I tumbling stainless steel a lot
When you build the base, would there be any advantage to building in chambers you could fill with shot or some other damping material? While standing on the pallet gave it more weight and stopped some flex, your body also damped out a bunch of vibration. I might be over thinking this, but thought I would ask.
per Mick Blackley (also on YT), "Laser doesn't key the surface for paint" LRR is good if it's going to stay a bare metal or translucentfinish (such as a cast iron stove) but there's all kinds of tradeoff
Hey Josh, it would be interesting to see how much the part that was in the machine, will deteriorate if you keep putting it back in. What will it look like in a year or two? About how long did you have your parts in the tumbler to get the results that you have show on the video?
Nice machine, you can do other work while it is running , and a hour or 2 later you have a nice part. If you tried to clean up the part by hand, it would take time and not look as nice.
How much material does it remove? A thou? or less? Curious if it would remove machining marks on flat surfaces and those are probably only a tenth deep in my case
Greg from northern Michigan. Nice machine. What is the motor horsepower. A new single phase 3/4 hp unit is $16k. When I buy used machinery, I think in terms of cents per dollar new. Can you share any further comments here ? Are used machines like this in high demand in your area ? Being on the smaller size, I think the used market would be kind of small.
It's 3 phase. I tend not to buy anything that isn't 3 phase. It's more efficient and is just easier to setup and troubleshoot. As far as my region, nobody has one of these, but it's also very depressed. Not much industry left. Watch some of my other videos talking about that.
I used a vibrating finisher for 50 plus years in my shop, had rotating barrels too. The process is an art and not a science Many variables, run time, media shape and composition, quantity of media in drum, quantity of parts in drum, media compound and volume of water.

You should also obtain a dry rust inhibiting compound to be mixed into a solution and be kept in a separate container into which the finished parts are dipped
Some parts require long run times and depending on how much water evaporates you will need to add more
The volume of water has a great influence on cutting speed
Drain the water into some sort of settling tank and not directly into your drain as it carries fines from the media breaking down and will eventually block your drain
There is more to know but with this you will be off to a good start
Oh, forgot to say, the intensity of the vibration is also controllable
To intense may damage your parts
I don’t recommend running dry
These were made to run wet
Good luck!

Certainly a nice addition for your shop.
The Giant is certainly a good brand of equipment.
This will save you alot of time.
Thanks for sharing. 👍
Josh, I am so jealous of your Giant Tumbler.........go have a cold one on me.....best wishes, Paul in Orlando
Thanks Paul.
Great addition. Gives your parts a really nice pro look and will save you a ton of time in the long run, and time is money.
Great timesaver. Switch it on and walk away. Excellent.

HEY JOSH , THAT'S PRETTY COOL. CONGRADS ON THE NEW ADDITION ✌
The "parts unloading" feature is extremely clever!
I look forward to seeing the new base built. Great video, Jake..👍🇺🇸

Not long at all. I usually do 25 of these parts, an hour in the tumbler and all good.
Great Channel Josh.
Thanks
Very cool, been looking forward to a new video coming out Mr Topper,
Looks like it's going to be a great addition to the shop. Looking forward to the next installment. From kiwi land
I'm starting to get back on track. May start being biweekly before long.
Congratulations on the fun new machine! The RP liquid will help a lot.
I will have liquid setup on the upgrade, as soon as I get it finished!
They make a tumbler for cleaning brass that uses needle bearings and soap. Makes brass look like new cleans primer pockets and inside of cases.
Nice. Consider that when you were standing on the pallet, the mass your body added was the primary reason the performance improved.

It will save me tons of time.
Love the exit ramp
It was a very important selling point.
Thanks!
Thank you!
I remember running one of those in a fab shop I worked at. This was years ago, but I remember there was some sort of liquid added to the media for lubrication.
It will have a liquid tank and pump when the upgrades are done.
That's awesome! It's cool the way it brings the parts up on to the grate
Great addition to, probably needs a thick steel base, on casters, to dampen the shakes. Not cheap, but doable.👍👍
No casters. Forkable
@@TopperMachineLLC +3/4" plate.👍👍Don't want it hopping away!
I worked at a shop that made made small turning for timers, etc. I remember using one of those, but have no idea who made it.
There were several mfgs. All basically the same.
Well that was interesting to see, thank you Josh.

I started out with the mortar mixer. Not as refined as these vibratory tumblers.
I'm excited to see the new base build, that is a beast of a machine.
Very nice!!! Cannot wait to see the base build.
Finishing - the always overlooked and so very important part of manufacturing. That’s a great machine.
Absolutely. Finishing is often the difference between good and great.
Looking forward to the stand build video. 👍👍
Very cool. Congrats.
Nice shop addition. Looks like it will improve your efficiency.
Nice to have another tool available to use.
Absolutely! It will make some jobs a lot easier.
Might be worth the effort to break the big burr from the saw off with pliers before going into the tumbler, it could be done while the saw is cutting the next piece and take up virtually no extra time?
I generally start the saw and feed super slow then go back to drilling or other work. I never babysit the saw.
Nice piece of kit for the shop. I hope it serves you well.
It should save me a lot of time and effort.
Nice “Jumpin’ Jenny” !
That output tray is pretty cool.
Absolutely.
Nice addition.
When you build the base, fill it with cement 👍 In the industrial world we at Cummins have our bolted down and they would still walk around.
It will be heavy. No need to worry.
I THINK YOU ARE GOING TO REALLY LIKE THE JOB IT WILL DO OVER ALL...
So far, very happy.
I like it!
here in California that is a machine you would store and use outside ,with perhaps an open cover....I feel for your weather struggles.......I guess you would have to keep it warm in winter...and have antifreeze in the mix??
Fork it outside when needed, store inside to keep warm.
Half an hour ago I didn't know what a tumblr was, now I am thinking of things in my household that could use being thrown into one!
I would even add a hinged plastic dome over the top so the area around it and the air stays absolutely clean.
I considered that. But running it wet should help. It will also be forked outside for use. Even in the winter.
@@TopperMachineLLC You might have to add a heater for winter use outside?
It will be in the heated shop until use. As long as the water solution is flowing, it won't freeze.
The parts catcher is slick!
I'll go out on a limb and venture that you bought it from HGR.
I did. It was a good price
I have a C&M Topline machine. It’s not as big as yours, but after having it for a year, I wouldn’t be without it.

I wouldn't suspect a thin cover would survive long. I don't do much thing stuff.
Awesome tumbler! My only experience with them is my Dillon brass tumbler with corn cob or walnut shells.
I just bought a small bowl type to use when cleaning used parts...hope to use it soon
You'll like it. But will always wish it was bigger. Lol
Really like the parts separator.
Me too.

on your mill try adding 2 more handles like a drill press you'll love it
I like my quick adjust single. Super easy and there aren't extra handles in the way.

Thanks for sharing.
I do tumbling for other shops. Just call or email with questions.
noisy little buggers aren't they, that's an outside job
Cool Tool. Josh
Good job
I'm jealous, I'd love to have something like that! I use an old concrete mixer when i have to clean stuff up, but it is noisy and not fun to run!
Been there, done that. Definitely won't do it again. Lol
That's a bad ass machine. The seperation feature to remove the parts is amazingly helpful i bet especially for small parts. Save a lot of grief looking for little bits.

Be sure that you make the sediment tank with a removable bucket, so you can clean it out. That crap gets heavy quick 👍👍👍
It’s on the list for the tank build.
nice best to all john
Great one Josh buddy, nicely done mate
nice
Cool tool man
Very cool. The only problem is now I want one.
Maybe a sand filled base when you make a stand?
That's a very interesting machine, I've never seen anything like that previously, having never worked in an industry where one would be used. It looks like it will be very useful and save all the manual de-burring work.I wonder what the running cost will be, with electricity and replacement media and chemicals. No doubt you'll have it all set up with the new base soon and making good use of it.
Being 3 phase and low hp, electricity is minimal. Media is a large upfront cost, but lasts a long time.
You would do a lap more beautiful job if you would add just a little bit of a WD 40, that’s actually when ceramic abrasive starts working. You don’t need much of a liquid I tumbling stainless steel a lot
Since I just got the machine and haven't finished the upgrades, I don't have the liquid setup yet. It is definitely coming.
Would a sandblaster not be the better solution? Faster, less energy consume, cleans the entire surface.
Far slower, takes more energy for the air compressor, and it requires babysitting. This tumbler is a small motor, and you setbit and forget it.
A little water and Palmolive dish soap will work in a pinch. Running the ceramic media dry will not work very well.
@@vze2fz2c I am well aware and working on the upgrades to make it ready for liquid.
When you build the base, would there be any advantage to building in chambers you could fill with shot or some other damping material? While standing on the pallet gave it more weight and stopped some flex, your body also damped out a bunch of vibration. I might be over thinking this, but thought I would ask.
It's all in the plan.
Very nice Tumblr. What types of media did you get? How about laser rust removal??
Ingot ceramic media for medium cut. Basically for deburing, so should have no problem with slags
per Mick Blackley (also on YT), "Laser doesn't key the surface for paint" LRR is good if it's going to stay a bare metal or translucentfinish (such as a cast iron stove) but there's all kinds of tradeoff
Try adding Borax to the water to remove rust and oils from the part.
I bought their solution with rust inhibitor.
A new paint job would also look good and protect it...
Paint doesn't make things run better. Time is money and spending time painting is not essential to making money.
Will tumbling also act like preening, in mildly releiving tensile stresses and surface hardening?
Not that I'm aware of
Awesome unit. Are you concerned about the added shop noise?
Not at all. It will go outside.
Well. A lot of things in life are just too small but that doesn't stop us from using them anyway. What? No! I'm talking about my milling machine.
Those machines are meant to have fluid run through them , the dry running will kill your media.
I am working on the upgrade to add fluid.
Nice machine
Thanks!
Hey Josh, it would be interesting to see how much the part that was in the machine, will deteriorate if you keep putting it back in. What will it look like in a year or two?
About how long did you have your parts in the tumbler to get the results that you have show on the video?
I plan on leaving them in to find out. This run for debur was about an hour. Definitely worth it for larger batches.
@@TopperMachineLLC Could you grab some basic measurements of the part that came in the machine to compare to in 1-2 years?
I sure can.
Nice machine, you can do other work while it is running , and a hour or 2 later you have a nice part. If you tried to clean up the part by hand, it would take time and not look as nice.
Absolutely! The time savings are huge.
The media is not abrasive enough for what you’re doing and you need a little soap & definitely water to make it cut better 👍
It is the correct media, I just need to finish the upgrades to get the liquid setup.
How much material does it remove? A thou? or less? Curious if it would remove machining marks on flat surfaces and those are probably only a tenth deep in my case
Depends on how long you let it run. It will do a lot.

That little part seems to be a Signode 023202 Jaw. About $100 for that little thing.
I think you're correct. It sure looks like it.
This is the kind of thing you want running in a separate building so you don't have to listen to it all day.
Forkable so it can go outside.
wet it it does better the wet washes the media so it will cut
As soon as the new base is made, it gets the wetting setup.
