never seen a machine like this before these videos, very cool
Hi Keith, I agree with the comment below, it seems to be running a bit fast to me. Back in the dim dark ages I remember building one of these with my woodwork teacher. We used a plastic drum, quarter filled it with fine gravel and sand, then turned it on for about a week on slow. (I think he was trying to polish gemstones) By the time it finished we'd forgotten what we were trying to polish but I do remember they came out very shiny.
Great update!
Thanks!
Very interested to see how the drum works. I bought a vibro polisher to clean clock parts, it works but is VERY slow and is also quite noisy.
I certainly thought that your blood meter would say you've got 5.5 mmol/L of steam oil in your blood. :-) ... Love your videos.
Couldn't you change the belt and pulleys With replacement pulleys and belt for a 3d printer to slow it down abit
It seems to work OK as it is ........
Hi Keith, I would run this 3/4 full of media and material.... I would also run it on the slowest setting
My limited experience has shown the same results. The tumbler media is in contact with the parts for more of the time.
hello mr keith can your steam locomotive or your steamplant power the polisher drum?
I use the vibrating version to clean brass cartridges and I think it’s their walnut media. They come out as new shiny after about an hour but yes it is noisy. I use a lot more media that you do though.
I half fill the drum with media now . . .
has anyone used this with rocks?
Very nice looking machine Any chance you might put your small spanner wrenches in it ?
Eventually :-)))
You will know it’s setup correctly when starting with two old copper plated coins you end up with £2.43 in new change!!
im coming from the world of pyrotechnics so its very importent to me that the rotary tumbler i use will not get very hot after like 3-8 hours of constant use.will this get the job?
Mine seems OK, it doesn't have to work very hard to just rotate the drum.
I have a similar machine for polishing stones and gems. I haven't used it the last few years, but it's a bit smaller then yours. It came from a hobby shop with a bag of polishing sand, which is not something you would use on steam engine parts as sand particles could get stuck in the nooks and crannies. I've never used this type of machine for cleaning parts and I'm curious about it. Would the steel balls wear small details off of small parts such as raised part numbers or edges? Would putting other parts in the tumbler bang against other parts gouging or scratching them?
It just seems to work, the parts come out nicely. More to come in the next episode . . . .
@@keithappleton Okay. Now I'm wondering if you could build a tumbler that ran on Hamster power?
You may not like it but if it ain't broken, don't fix it. Enjoy your wine. Cheers
⭐😃👍
must be a successful job since you gave blood lol(happens to me)
