    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.

    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.

  • @atomicsnarl
    @atomicsnarl 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    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.

    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.

  • @larrywalker7759
    @larrywalker7759 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    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).

    • @TopperMachineLLC
      @TopperMachineLLC  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      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.

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)

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.

    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

      Paint doesn't make things run better. Time is money and spending time painting is not essential to making money.

    Those machines are meant to have fluid run through them , the dry running will kill your media.

    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.

    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.

    • @TopperMachineLLC
      @TopperMachineLLC  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      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.
