DIY Vibratory Tumbler | Cleaning And Stonewash Finish On The Cheap!

- A vibratory tumbler is very usesuf to clean or finish small parts with little effort.
Different media are used for different application like removing paint and rust or polishing metals.
Decided to make this one recycling a vibrating platform, very common "exercise" tool in the used market.
As I said in the video a bigger motor would have allowed to use heavier media, but for smaller works I still think it's very useful!
Plus it's super cheap to make! I spent only 20€ to make mine.

I hope you found my media alternatives comparison somewhat interesting.
As always suggestions and comments are welcome.
Thanks a lot for watching!

This was a great idea! Very smart way to repurpose an old item. I like how that piece of rebar turned out in the end with the mixed media.
Great idea! I see these in second-hand shops from time to time. Thanks for the abrasives info and comparisons. Good cheap build.
Love your channel. Lots of people make things but few are creative enough to see a useful tool hiding in garbage. Great stuff!
That was great that you did the media comparison, with the build.
Cheers
Great job. I haven’t seen these locally but if I run across one I’ll try to grab it.
That came out amazing!
seeing all those screws on the bottom come loose in fast forward was probably a little more satisfying to watch than it should have been haha - love these projects!
That was a great idea. Enjoyed the video. Thanks
Hi, I use to do that kind of cleaning oxide aluminum ( from old used grinding wheels) broken in small bits into a hexhagonal drum, rotating, as a washing machine. Its a slow proccess but effective. Cheers!
That’s quite clever! Bravo! 😄
I am obsessed with your channel!
a very nice project mate, excellent attempt.
Best Project my firend! Amazing
Thanks mate. Great video. You saved me lots of mucking around.
This is so good idea. You are a smart guy. Very terrific.
crushed walnut shell is a most excellent for polishing brass & copper tumbler media
I was going to suggest sand blasting media. I don't think they have local gun shops in Italy.
Don't need a gun shop, just need Amazon, www.amazon.com/Lyman-Cleaning-Treated-Tufnut-Container/dp/B000KOTXUO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1536981426&sr=8-2&keywords=lyman+walnut
That's what I use in my brass tumbler for the initial clean. After I size, I then go clean the oils off with corn cob media and I get super shiny brass with nothing else added.
Thanks for the tip!
i thought he was in the states
you can also use "reptile bedding" material - MUCH cheaper :-) EX: www.chewy.com/zilla-ground-english-walnut-shell/dp/125328
good thing to have in the shop.
This was an excellent video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You have inspired me!
Good job, thanks for sharing 😃👍
Nice tool organization wall! (near the end of video)
Nice work my friend
Cool idea!
Me encantan tus vídeos me encantaría que subieras vídeos mas seguidos
A creative artist I greet you for your wonderful and beautiful works from Iraq
You are a genius, it even comes to you when you call it.
Interesting. I have 2 massage motors from an adjustable bed I had to dispose of. They're similar to your motor but they are 230 volt about 100 watt each.
I feel that turned out rather well for something you put together in a short space of time. Thanks for sharing your results with us it's really quite helpful.
Your vids are awesome
Muy buena idea (good idea)
Good job 👍👍👍👍👍
cat's sand is perfect, saludos
Thumbs up and enjoyed your video
Very good man
muy bueno amigo!!
Отличная работа. МОЛОДЕЦ.
It was very interesting to see you testing different media. It turned out to be a very good, easy and cheap method to remove rust or paint. Think i need to build my own. You should test it wet aswell, add some water.
I think I prefer your rotary tumbler more. I like more moving parts and spinning wheels.
Seems like that’s a good Tumblr for multiple smaller pieces if you have no rush in needing them that would be a good mass piece Tumblr for a long term process great video
Thanks.... very well.....
try mounting the motor vertically instead of horizontally . being mounted vertically will create much more spinning of the media . instead of the horizontally mounted motor , which creates more side to side movement :)
Try walnut sand blasting media. very easy on thin metal but it cleans off rust.
Great for brass and spent bullet casings
Alumnium oxide powder is a great media for abrading metals, perhaps look for the type they use in sand blasters
Great idea, shame it’s not powerful enough for the stone media. Would it be powerful enough if the container were smaller?
maybe if you get lucky you could use a front loading washer or dryer as a tumbler. They could certainly handle just about any media you could put in there. Plus they're sealed
not exactly ideal for small things but if you had like an engine part or a vice or something like that you wanted to basically get a start on taking the paint off in a very gentle way they could probably do the job.
Nice
Nice !
I made a rotating tumbler using a AC Motor Low Speed 10RPM 14W 220V from ebay.
at ~20€ it has enough torque to roll at least a few kg of tools including half a bucket of gravel :)
Great idea, though I have never seen a vibrating platform before. Media is expensive and a shaker usually I use brass shells and black silica media.Try using a smaller bucket and brass and finer media...
Cool
You best men!
Привет! Отличное видео!
Muy Bueno
Did you try wet media? I've seen that they use it on rims (but maybe still having the same problem with that not powerful enough motor...)
How/where to find stronger motors? Is it there any DIY for that? Conversions maybe using another tools motors?
Try an old washing machine or dryer -- preferably front-loading. Can find one for pretty darn cheap.
Hello, the stombreaker of thor, i like
Try Polishing with crushed corn. It takes a bit but it polishes very good
I have an observation. Those counterweights have grub screws on them. What would happen if you offset the counterweights 90 or 180 degrees from each other? Would the vibratory action be better for this application? I also heard that kitty litter works well for this type of low-power tumbler.
...And also what was that contraption originally designed for?? Some sort of foot... vibration device?
Thanks. I was looking at something like this. I think i could attach the vibrating machine to a big trash can and then put my car wheels inside.
Ehi, can you try to use it on 3d printed parts? I'd love a good video on the subject and I think that the motor and size of the tool (as well as the kind of media) would be perfect to clean and smooth 3d prints.
Wish it would have worked better for you bub. I love watching you do the things you do. Like the vacuum camper. I am on the process of making one thanks keep up the great job at vids. Thanks
could you do a antique safe next that would be interesting
Any idea on what just regular sand would do as a grit medium?
wow
daria pra usar um Subwoofer modificado? música e limpeza ao mesmo tempo. muito bom. parabéns.
Pump up the bass...😎👍
Rob Simpson. Yes...👍👍👍
Something for me mum to sit on.
Bravissimo come sempre !!
Dove hai acquistato la pedana vibrante??
Ma è italiano?
oh you look like your logo who knew !!!
Neat use of the wife's foot viberater, does she know? By the way if you don't need that large a pot to tumble in get one of the large plastic food storage bowls from your local wally world for cheap and use a smaller plastic funnel just like you did with that one, the cheap plastic bowl and funnel will last many years, mine is almost 30 years old, has an old photo copier open frame fan motor that was 20 years old when I built the tumbler. Still cleans parts and polishes rocks most every day.
For steel you can crush up some flower pots. Softer metals you can probably use marble chips.
But the amount of work involved...you might as well just buy one with the appropriate media.
dont know much about stonewashing but for a motor of that size maybe reducing the volume would be more effective?
hmm bench grinder with that off center weight .would vibrate the house ? just found your site cool
did you try an even finer material? like sand? or powdered rock?
Would be nice to see if broken car windows glass is a good media or not, since it shatters into many little pieces and can be obtained for free it has all the good requisite for a cheap and effective solution.
perhaps perlite would work better, it is a very low density volcanic glass used for gardening. you'd have to use a dust mask though.
or Aluminium oxide, but I've only seen it in powder form.
I may have missed you saying this, but did you try using "Walnut Shells?" They're hard, hard enough to remove (& Re-use some times?) epoxy primers, acrylic paints, deeply pitted rust, many blemish's, & some slivers or burrs, when used within a Bench Mounted Sand Blaster, that's set at 80 to 100 psi..
PS. Also, the cost is fairly cheap if you buy the largest bag.
👌👌👌

HOw about Aquarium Rocks? The kind without paint?
What is the white tool that u took apart for the vibrator?
Cherry Stones or walnut shells could work nicely. They are very hard but not heavy.
Did you try rock salt?
You should try beard clippings!
I know my nephew tried bearingballs and stones that are shaped triangle like.. But I really don't know how he found those or even what they were...
The build was great i don't see any major problems, but you did one thing i think wrong that lets the bucket move too much and not use the vibrations of the motor properly, you only put one washer and nut at the top of the upsidedown funnel, if you cut a piece of wood 1/2 inche smaller than the inside of the funnels top edge and put that at the bottom of the bucket fasten that down tight to the base then fasten the funnel over that you will have more contact with the base and the motor vibration will be greater giving better flow of the aggregate, Really loving your channel 👍

Maybe you should try with some other compartment other than plastic, as it absorbs a lot of the vibration
What was the manufacturer of that ' massager
You should make silver light from runescape
I’ve seen people using dry rice, corn 🌽 and even pea shingle with good results...
put some gaskets there to contain dust and prevent stuff from getting into the motor. Like rubber or gasket maker.
Isn't a rotational tumbler better?
イケメンスギィ！
Try some "Aluminum Oxide" as your tumbling media.
хорошее видео. поверни молотки на валу на 180 " результат удивит. Да, и насыпь туда битую керамическую плитку
I'm very surprised the pumice did so little, I'd have thought it would have been abrasive enough to have removed the primer.
have you considered fish tank gravel
Non so perché, ma sembra che hai un accento italiano. Comunque sei davvero bravo, complimenti!
😀👍👊
Good video but I could not identify the different types of media you are using.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Can I get a list of items
