  • I had to buy four 3/8"ID x 7/8"OD ball bearings on eBay for $2.65 each.
    Everything else was purchased at a Menards.
    The All-thread diameter was limited by the chuck capacity of the $20 drill, but it is sufficient.

    Drills we use on construction sites are heavy duty.The operating stress on those drills are constant and more demanding. Cheap parts-simple an effective.Love it!

    so did you ever get a vid or a pic of the end result? what kind of grit did you use and what were you doing this for?

    you need to fill your jug about 3/4 full and have your water just covering the stones, it will give you a better agitation and nicer stones, i use the small 3 gallon jugs and they work awesome, to close off the end just get a peice of scrap rubber like from rubber roofing and place it over the end, then clamp a hose clamp on just under the top of the lip and pull the rubber tight before you tighten it all the way down and bam you got one awesome tumbler.
    we use have several of these going at our warehouse to tumble pet wood and aquamarine and they work just as good as a 500+ dollar tumber, we still use a real tumbler base. just be careful that drill your using dont catch fire. really you should use a regular motor and some metal rods with shaft collars and pillow bearings. hope it helped ya. great idea with the jug though, it sure beats spending hundreds on a real tumbler drum

    nice, but is it in a deep underground basement or do you just not sleep with the 249 noise decibels?

    How does the drill drive the canister? Is it friction drive? What kind of bit does the drill drive?

    Did the plastic bottle get noticeably worn out or thinned after a while?

    How many hours it took to burn that drill???

  • @bollollocks
    @bollollocks 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    How did you calculate $200 of electricity? around here that is about 3000 KW.hours worth. The equates to probably 30,000 hours of this drill running at that power setting of 100 watts or so. And that is a conservative rating too.

    How long before the drill Burns up, and how much does your electric bill go up running that 24/7

    Hmmm. Those horizontal bars got me thinking: We have motorized spit that turns a roast on the BBQ. I wonder if it could turn a small jug full of steel shot to polish silver jewelry?! Just don't light the grill and let the motor run for an hour. Or what about those "As seen on TV" rotating roaster oven things? I'll bet I could get one at a yard sale for next to nothing! What do you think? Would it work?

    But it takes about a week to polish a good lot of stones with 3 different grits and cerium oxide. Pretty sure the drill motor will die!

  • @cindynelson3746

    Well, I love the water bottle idea as a drum, but, the drill will not hold up and it uses too much electricity. If you could find a 1 or 2 amp motor, then you would be in better shape. Thanks for the vid.

    Actually, no. This $20 Tool Shop drill went strong for 18+ continuous hours.
