I made several tumblers for metal parts. I find that if the tumbler runs slower, it does a better job. You want the items to tumble, not drop and fall. Some baffles inside the drum helps. I fastened some vinyl siding J channel on the inside.
Nicely done. I have watched hundreds of diy rotary tumbler videos by now, but I keep coming back to this one. The information about motor voltage and current is useful. Direct drive is very efficient too. Thank you!
I made one using an old printer and some scrap wood. For the drum I am using PVC pipe, the only parts I had to purchase. It really polishes my brass well.
Nice! There are lots of ways to skin that cat. I've made several, usually with pats on hand or found in the junkyard. The best one I ever made for deburring parts used 2 rollers and bearings that were wringers on a washing machine from the junkyard. The rollers were mounted on a flat angle iron frame far enough apart one could be used to mount a pulley with a bearing in the hub to act as a third pulley and countershaft in a speed reduction drive. It used a 120 VAC motor and tire to tumble the parts. We tumbled wet with gravel from the driveway. If rust is a problem, add a water-based cutting fluid or a weak lye solution. You may need a guard to keep the tire from walking off the rollers. I have also made them from nothing but PVC pipe using O-rings on the large tumbling tube as drive bands.
Nice video & design! I made mine from feed rollers of an old jet printer. Also performs well & even less work. I use a GatorAid type quart jar for small quantities; the non-smooth grips on outside of jar tumble the media more than plain container. I can barely put a one or two gallon wide mouth plastic jar on it too. If the large jar has a formed grip handle, it really throws the parts & media around inside. The contents can’t just slide around smooth interior. My little printer rollers are at their limit with large jar & it sometimes gets kicked off by the vigorous tumbling of contents. This size would work even better! Irregular shape container would tumble way more too.
I also had the fear that the media would only slid, but the media is heavy and rough enough that it diggs into the container a little bit and creates enough friction to stick to the wall and not slide.
Just a couple thoughts on acquiring decent bearings and-or wheels and something about a convenient driver system for wet projects. I built a large (110 gallon volume) air pressure driven continuous threw-put rotary reel spray washer for washing vegetables many years ago. I found the castor type wheels with good bearings were a bit expensive, for what you got. I did try to use salvaged castor type wheels at first, but because of the weights and speeds involved, they failed fairly quickly because they had a surface to surface oil lubed unsealed bearing system, like we see here. The solution I came up with was to use replacement wheels for push "scooters' (the type for kids). They are relatively cheap, readily available and have decent quality sealed bearings. You can buy the bearings separately, if that is all you need. For smaller projects, replacement wheels for skateboards have the about the same quality sealed bearings. Of course you have to build mounts but that is not much of a problem. The articulated hinge mounts I built for my project had adjustable spring tensioners to help compensate for defects in the curvature of the drum which does cause some harmonic vibration at higher speeds. My washer threw-put many thousands of pounds of vegetables with no failure of these type of bearings. Driver system: Because I needed a rotational speed adjustable driver which could safely operate in a continuously wet environment, I came up with the solution of using a belt system driven by a cheap (budget is king) air powered drill. The speed of the drill is easily adjustable based on the air pressure input. I did not calculate the operational cost of this system as I felt, at the time, any loses in driver efficiency was outweighed by the increase in operational safety. I hope this comment on my experience may help others move forward with their unique project.
A nice little project. Really enjoy how you work around issues that arise. Given the tub is not rubber I am going to say it must be too noisy for tumbling rocks with though. It would need to run for at least a a week at a time.
Man , that kind of tube foam used to isolate air conditioner lines, it would be perfect to give the grip you want, they are rubber (anti slip), soft (easily compressed) and really cheap
Moin. Also die Gummizusammensetzung von Rolerblades sind ziemlich gut. und da sie für Asphalt sind, sind die auch ziemlich lange haltbar. Außerdem bekommt man oft welche geschenkt auf unserer "Craigslist" aka Kleinanzeigen. schönes Projekt, gefällt mir gut. Beinahe alle nötigen Teile kannst du übrigens aus einer alten Nähmaschine bekommen... inkl. Motor und anlasser... der ja auch nix anderes wie ein Travo ist!

What exactly is that white and red barrel from? I seen the same one in one of “The Oftler” loudest firework compilations. Judging by your European accent and The Oftler being from eastern Europe(eastern Germany to the baltics) I’m going to assume that is you can only buy it in europe: I’ve looked for the same one at Home Depot, Lowes,GNC(looked like a protein powder tub), grocery stores, and havnt found anything that resembles it. I also thought that “barrel” might be a polyethylene weed sprayer tank. I found a bunch of glass jars recently, 170 small dark brown skin care jars without lids; but the brand is etched(I think)into the glass. Sand paper sort of got it off but scuffs up the glass. So I’d like to sand it off and then etch the jar(s) in a home made rock tumbler. Having the glass etched will further block light along with it already being a dark brown clear glass. I found another 100 or clear glass jars in several shapes in a dumpster behind a marijuana dispensary . Almost all of them have lids. I come across chemicals, specimens, and small oddities that need to be stored and the best way is in glass jars in my lighted glass display cabinet. I’d like to make a rock tumbler for many things, but mostly to diffuse light through glass. Some glasses I might have to coat with a UV blocker. Here’s the same “barrel” in The Oftler’s video. th-cam.com/video/yD-glZs3BEY/w-d-xo.html
I know the Oftler Videos. These barrels are standard chemical barrels here in Germany, but for more expensive contents. A lot of outdoor shops also sell them for kayaking. I would advice looking for one at a chemical storage seller.
Hey bud, those looked to be galvanized metal parts that you wanted to put in your tumbler. You don't want to be doing that, you will be creating ultra fine zinc dust and that is one of the last things you want in your lungs,
Could granite rocks break terracotta pieces into a fine powder? I wanna build one so I can use the powder as grog for clay molding but I don't know if the granite rocks would crush the pieces or it'll just remove the edges. Maybe I'll have to use steel balls or something similar?
hey max WHY did you not move the variable speed box closer to.tje motor or used a piece of tubing to.cover the wires and clamp.to.the board where can you get that type of container
still using it? Where did you get the container? working on one right now. It is a 5 gal bucket inside a driven 5 gal bucket for quick media changes and negates media storage. I think your design would do that too.
I am not because I have the new bigger machine now and I needed the motor for something else. These barrels are for kayaking but also for chemical storage, so look for those.
A couple cogs from a bike and a chain will also work and never slip for turning the barrel with less work...no lathe work and we can duplicate it easily.
Hey, du findest soetwas im Outdoor zubehör. Für Kajaks oder ähnlich. Ich habe ja jetzt noch den großen Tumbler gebaut, für €160 würde ich den vom Video verkaufen inklusive Medium.
Thank you very much! I wanted a sheetmetal brake for years. First I was looking for a 50 year old model, but they were still 2-3000€. Most of them are also not segmented. Then I ordered one from Poland, but they were very unreliable, so ai stopped the order. Then I found a German company who has them made in China, but the quality is awesome.
I know this is just a home DIY sort of a project, but it was too rough and ready and had me cringing on several occasions. Do you own rulers, engineer's squares, calipers etc.? They make life so much easier with projects like this.
Hey, it works fine, but you have to wash out the debris from time to time. So some sort of flushing port would be great. Otherwise the debris which is like wet flour sticks to everything.
@@MaxMakerChannel Thank you! I am having the same trouble. Now searching for better media that doesn't break the bank. I made mine with a 10-gallon drum, so I need lots of media.
Hi everyone nice video just wanted to throw an idea out there for anyone looking to make a bigger version and wondering what motor to use. I haven't completed it but I have been gathering parts. I will be using a treadmill motor , powerful and variable speed. some one is always getting rid of one just an idea.
Il faudrait coller sur la jarre deux pneus de vélo et fixer sur la tige reliée au moteur au même endroit, des bagues en caoutchouc, la bande de tissu enroulée sur la tige du moteur est une mauvaise solution ou alors 2ème solution surélever le plateau portant la jarre et les 4 roulettes et enfiler 2 roulettes dans la tige du moteur
At 1:34 - "This can be dangerous". I had a friend who worked in a machine shop where one of his colleagues was killed by exactly this. He was turning a piece of rod, and had the other end of it coming out of the back of a chuck. The rod bent, and whipped, and hit him on the top of his head - and split him to half way down his chest. Machine tools have no compassion!
Yes it is! Thats why I had the clamps there. However this machine is so weak, that it wouldn´t cause any problems. On bigger machines I would not attempt this.
@@MaxMakerChannel Sorry, Max - it was just a comment - not a criticism in any way. In any case, your rod was quite short, and your precautions adequate in my opinion. The accident I related happened far away and long ago - in South Africa, around 1970. Still, it's a precautionary tale.
Shit happens, it sucks but what should we do? Let the government do everything for us, or certified "experts" who charge stupid amount of money? We are all capable of whatever we put our minds to! I don't want to count on others to take care of me or rely on anyone else. Responsibility and knowing what you're doing is up to the individual. Accidents happen it's part of life. It's like locking yourself in your own home because you're afraid to get sick and then think you can tell others how to live because your scared.
@@mikehunt8375 Indeed! But the guy in the video has recognised the danger of that particular situation, and has done something about it. If the victim of the accident in my story had done the same thing, it would probably have saved his life. I was just attempting to draw attention to the danger by recounting a true story, and by giving a timestamp to what had been done in this case. I didn't work at the company where that accident happened, but I heard the story from a shocked employee who did, and it was a lesson to me. Maybe this comment will serve to spread the message.
I didn't watch the entire video before I post this, but couldn't you connect the drive shaft directly to the bottom of the plastic container to rotate the container
Yeah, there is a groove along the terminals that it snaps onto, still not 100% safe but it is a start, lol. After having a thought you could use your lathe to round off the points where the tumbler comes in contact with the threaded bar. Then wrap your rubber band at those points using a suitable glue.
That choice or rubber gasket for covering the drive shaft is a poor choice. Use automotive engine hoses to slide over the rod. Anything else will wear out very quickly.
I guess in September. I have a huge commercial project on my desk at the moment. Didn’t have any free time since last summer. Will finish it as soon as I can.
@@MaxMakerChannel ok super danke ich baue gerade ein e surfboard und hab dein tutorial als sehr hilfreich gesehen. Kurz zu den lipos die du verwendst. Ich habe den selben meiner ist nun 8 monate alt und bläht sich schon nach kurzer belastung auf. Hast du ähnliche probelemen mit den Lipos? Kannst du mir eine schiffschraube empfeheln die ich kaufen kann habe leider keine gefunden. Ist dein Koffer eigentlich nun wasserdicht oder hat er leaks? Ok danke für die antwort!
I would rather spend 20 minutes filing than listen to a tumbler for 3 hours, i can understand using a finer gravel for rust removal but not a gravel for sharp edges
I heavily disagree. German sewing machine oil is also called fine mechanic oil and it has great characteristics without any drawbacks. You must have used a different oil.
I saw lot of videos about tumbling but I can't understand 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️why they don't used correct media which is blasting sand except one video
After more than 40 years of professional wiring....... White, green, black, and bare copper are your neutral/ground/negative..... Red, blue, yellow, brown, orange, pink, etc, etc, are your positive/live/hot/feed...... So yes, blue can be hot.
@@LordAndyvaile Wow! I'd wind up burning stuff down in the UK! I live on the east coast of the US In buildings/homes, white is neutral, green or bare is ground. Any other color can be hot/positive. In DC wiring, such as automotive, black usually is ground, once in awhile you'll find white as ground, but not often. The biggest nightmare I ever worked on with wiring........a older model Mack truck. It had a wiring fire in the cab. I easily found the cause and fixed that, but the harness had to be replaced. The issue was, the wiring was designed at the factory as positive ground!!!! OMG, took me 2 weeks to finally get it right.........hope I never run across 1 of those again.
I am going to finish it, just not soon. I have a giant commercial project on my desk at the moment and cannot work on anything else in the mean time. I really need to finish that. Should be done by September, then I can focus on the Hydrofoil again.
@@MaxMakerChannel cool! Yeah get your job done before the fun. I'm almost done with my 12S4P battery for my esk8, I hope to make a hydrofoil as well. I like that the propeller and foil can be 3d printed, It makes me very interested. The forums are great too.

After having a thought you could use your lathe to round off the points where the tumbler comes in contact with the threaded bar. Then wrap your rubber band at those points using a suitable glue.
That choice or rubber gasket for covering the drive shaft is a poor choice. Use automotive engine hoses to slide over the rod. Anything else will wear out very quickly.
Oh sure ive got a sheet metal brake just sitting around. by the time you add all the electronics and parts you can BUY one of these
Use granite chicken grit for media

WHEN IS THE HYDROFOIL COMING PLEASE
I guess in September. I have a huge commercial project on my desk at the moment. Didn’t have any free time since last summer. Will finish it as soon as I can.
@@MaxMakerChannel ok super danke ich baue gerade ein e surfboard und hab dein tutorial als sehr hilfreich gesehen. Kurz zu den lipos die du verwendst. Ich habe den selben meiner ist nun 8 monate alt und bläht sich schon nach kurzer belastung auf. Hast du ähnliche probelemen mit den Lipos? Kannst du mir eine schiffschraube empfeheln die ich kaufen kann habe leider keine gefunden. Ist dein Koffer eigentlich nun wasserdicht oder hat er leaks? Ok danke für die antwort!
nice.
Schönes Projekt! Aber bitte benutz doch beim nächsten mal Aderendhülsen bei deiner Stromversorgung!!!
Jan Dietrich Mache ich eigentlich immer : ) Dieses Gerät läuft nie unbeaufsichtigt.
"Are your papers in order?"
I would rather spend 20 minutes filing than listen to a tumbler for 3 hours, i can understand using a finer gravel for rust removal but not a gravel for sharp edges
Yeah but I have a few more parts than two.
Sewingmachine oil is literally the worst oil you can use to lubricate something long term.
I heavily disagree. German sewing machine oil is also called fine mechanic oil and it has great characteristics without any drawbacks. You must have used a different oil.
I saw lot of videos about tumbling but I can't understand 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️why they don't used correct media which is blasting sand except one video
main power red is live not blue
The plug can be rotated in the socket.
After more than 40 years of professional wiring.......
White, green, black, and bare copper are your neutral/ground/negative.....
Red, blue, yellow, brown, orange, pink, etc, etc, are your positive/live/hot/feed......
So yes, blue can be hot.
@@jonnwray960 i dont know where you live but in the UK red or brown is positive green and yellow is earth and blue or black is negative/neutral
@@LordAndyvaile
Wow!
I'd wind up burning stuff down in the UK!
I live on the east coast of the US
In buildings/homes, white is neutral, green or bare is ground. Any other color can be hot/positive.
In DC wiring, such as automotive, black usually is ground, once in awhile you'll find white as ground, but not often.
The biggest nightmare I ever worked on with wiring........a older model Mack truck. It had a wiring fire in the cab. I easily found the cause and fixed that, but the harness had to be replaced. The issue was, the wiring was designed at the factory as positive ground!!!! OMG, took me 2 weeks to finally get it right.........hope I never run across 1 of those again.
@@jonnwray960 LOL well just remember if you come to uk to work lol
Deutscher Videotitel und englische Sprache??????
TH-cam übersetzt manche automatisch.
Cool video, I'm in the process of making a tumbler myself and will have the video up on my channel soon, you should check it out.
i think it is to mutch granit
Why?
That's a lot of work to avoid 15 minutes of filing the edges.
Think rock tumbler. I can build this that holds 3 times what a small tumbler holds and costs half the price.
It applies a really nice sand-blasted surface finish.
For one part yes, but I have hundreds of parts to deburr.
Ay bro where the Efoil at
I am going to finish it, just not soon. I have a giant commercial project on my desk at the moment and cannot work on anything else in the mean time. I really need to finish that. Should be done by September, then I can focus on the Hydrofoil again.
@@MaxMakerChannel cool! Yeah get your job done before the fun. I'm almost done with my 12S4P battery for my esk8, I hope to make a hydrofoil as well. I like that the propeller and foil can be 3d printed, It makes me very interested. The forums are great too.
Very much so! The community is great. I am scared to break some bones on an eskate.
Who the fuck just has a lathe
Try using saftey grip tape on the barrel for better friction if you have a heavier load. You can find them in thin sticker forum.
