- In this video, I'll show you how to oil the bearings on a rotary rock tumbler using 3-In-One oil. This was done on a Lortone 45C rotary rock tumbler, but the process is the same or similar on most any rotary rock tumbler including the Chicago Electric models.
Thanks for watching!

Hey there Lance Dean, cool video. I always have trouble with those oil bottles dripping more then I want, I found that those plastic pipettes you can get at craft and hobby stores work great for more pinpoint accuracy. Thank you for showing us.
Considering it's supposed to be an informational video it would have been cool if you would have turned it so the camera could see roughly how much oil you're using things like that
A drop or two is all you need , too much is a bad thing will end up getting where you don't want it and lubricating where you don't need lubrication
Thanks for the awesome info!! I'm a newbie for sure
Excellent video and advice. Thanks for posting this!
I have three Rock tumblers. I wanted to see if you oil the same way I do. And it is exactly the same. I have never had a problem in 3 years. Never had to replace one belt. Great video.
Thank you. I'm getting some major grumbles in my Chicago Electric, not sure from what. I oil regularly.
@@LanceDean check the tightness of your belt, you might have dropped oil on it. The grumbles are from a loose belt usually. Hope this helps.
just started tumble, cool tips interesting video
Appreciate the information you share. I am considering buying a tumbler. H
Lortone makes excellent tumblers. I used a Chicago Electric from Harbor Frieght when I first started and it lasted about a year. Just depends on your budget.
Good tip!.. although I know where your putting that oil,you can't see in your video what your oiling..some new viewers may need to see that..
I understand and agree. Tried my best without a cameraman! 🤣
@@LanceDean your better at camera operation than I am!!!..main reason why you don't see me do alot of videos...I suck..I was just saying,in case ppl wondering what you were oiling on the inside. It is a great video tho,..a must see for new rock tumblers!
@@manisteerocks7092 haha thanks man.
I’m one of those people lol I need to see where it goes and no TH-cam videos show it
Maybe face the opening towards the camera? Or hold it with the other hand and then oil so your hand is not blocking all. Or do a fake oiling with the cap still on? For a newbie I still am not sure where to drop the oil. I appreciate your letting us know to do this monthly - good to know. Thank you for making this video2.
Can't see where you are oiling it at.
One drop on the shaft where it goes into the bushing/bearing. Spin the shaft immediately to get oil distributed.
Old question.. but someone else may have the same problem . Keep them spinning.
I'm a newbie to tumblers,so I'm unsure about this.. on old box fans that need lubrication, Lubriplate (white lithium grease) works better than 3&1.. seems to last a long time. It keeps my fans running fine.
YMMV Thanks for the video.
I don't know how you'd get white lithium grease down into the bearings without taking the rods out. The main thing is to keep it lubed with something that is safe for plastic and is fluid, not sticky. 3 in One, light sewing machine oils are the usual go-to for this. Most everyone uses 3 in One as it's easy to find, cheap, and does the job. 👍
Can you tell me are those bearings or bushings that those rods run in? Thanks
They indeed look like bushings, but the manufacturers and part sellers all refer to them as bearings.
What other oil cannula use cuz of covid i cant buy 3in1
Any light machine oil like sewing machine oil, any silicone based lubricant. You cannot use WD-40 or any solvent.
I personally prefer white lithium grease to light machine oil (3 in 1).
Pity i cant hear a thing you are saying
