that seems to work surprisingly well. great job improvising with parts & figuring out the problems as they arose
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!
Thanks for watching!
🤘🤝🙉
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.
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.
We to had one filled with ball bearings and one with ceramic in. Where i used to work. Add some water and washing up liquid and works really well
Being spontaneous, humble and innovative is what marks this man out from others and give me a subtle inclination to listen and learn!
Thanks for watching: )
Glad you found the right thing at the rock store :-).
Nice and simple solution, very cool.
Thanks for this. I need a tumbling machine for self made flocking, and now I know how to tackle this. Really smart move with the wheels!
What is flocking?
@@MaxMakerChannel decorative grass for dioramas
Ah cool. I love those diorama making videos.
Thanks for the details and near misses. great video.
Nicely done!! Simple, concise and detailed~ thank you
I really like your idea of a tumbler, the build and video are excellent, thank you for sharing. 👍👍👍👍👍
Woo my boy got a bench press! It's such a good fit for your line of works! I really enjoyed your videos and all the ingenuity and creativity in it.
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.
Which is the bench press are you using? I'm looking for one
I like the McGyver feeling of this. Nothing specific, nothing measured out, from parts you already had laying around :D
sometimes the best way for a quick result. you can overengineer stuff. but that it mostly usefull if you making it to sell :P
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,. I'm in the process in making one with a treadmill motor. Plus using the rollers that came with it. I'm happy that u show the speed controller, which I plan to use. Thx.
Plenty of people use those! Send me a picture when its done!
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.
Bookmarked it for my diy pipeline👍
Excellent build man, I like your setup and tools that you use. A small lathe like you have is exactly what I would like to acquire.
If you can, try to get a longer one. Drilling holes can be a challenge. The tailstock snd the collet already take up half of the usable length.
Nice job. I'll build one of those. Thank you.
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.
Killer surface finish! :D
Perhaps Plasti-diping the all thread. That stuff is pretty durable.
Great Video. 5 Stars
Thanx, my old vibration tumbler broke down, I think I will use your design.
nice tumbler.... thought mine was simply..great thinking..
Very nice its not premium but it gets the job.. Love your vids and the steps to troubleshooting 👏👏
Thanks for watching!
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.
It is noisy, but it only runs for 4-8 hours.
your my kind of mad scientist!
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.
I love the video! I imagine Bike tube would if made good for friction.
That power supply is 150W btw. Although they can handle a little more. With Meanwelll the numbers tell you the power as well as the voltage.
thanks for the inspiration, really helps my inner building freak.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks, very good ideas
Nicely done!! Good job
Excellent project 👍
Thank you!
Try fuel line hose over your driveshaft rod, should be able to find some that fits tight on the shaft and you can cut it one length or two short ones.
Thats a good idea. A rubber hose.
This is very tutorial, thanks!
Great video man! Keep it up.
Thanks for watching!
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! Ein klasse Projekt wäre auch eine Nass Schleifmaschine zum Stechbeitel/Messer schärfen. Die Schleif Steine sind günstig, die Apparatur dazu aber oft bis zu 400 eu teuer. (ZB TORMEK). könnte sich also Lohnen. Auf jeden Fall gibts ein Abo!
best video I have seen on making a tumbler.
I found the podcast from DIY Perks' mention of it. Found this channel from the podcast. Nice!
Thanks! I hope you enjoyed the podcast! Let me know if you have cool makers that you want interviewed.
@@MaxMakerChannel I'm binging old episodes right now. Very good stuff!
@@MaxMakerChannel I'd be interested to hear TheCrafsMan and his story. th-cam.com/channels/zsjHlc0WRwZYwlinsmtM4w.html
Nice! Thanks for watching!
Ill give it a try!
you can try to spray rubberized coatings on the bucket for friction
great Video, Think I will build something inspired by your tumbler. Hey where did you find that barrel you used for the tumbler ?
Bart Hardwick This model is very common in Europe. Its for chemicals or for kayaking.
@@MaxMakerChannel Chemicals or kayaking? What kind of kayaking do you guys do over there? lol
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?
Great idea. I am building one like you did. Where did you get the container? I couldn't find it anywhere.
This one is from Curtec. You can find them in industrial supply stores or watersport stores.
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.
I'm looking to make something similar, what size is that bucket?
Can i know about specification dinamo?
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
Hey, the container is usually used for watersports or for packing dangerous goods.
Not sure why I did it the way I did.
Use a flanged bearing and forestener bit and press in tight. Lock nuts n each side of bearing. No need to turn down on lathe.
FYI: sewing machine oil is (most times) just made from refined mineral oil, which doesn’t dry out, you can find mineral oil very cheap in the shops :)
What motor did you use ??
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.
Well it works...
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.
Perfect for black powder maker.
Not in Germany : )
@@MaxMakerChannel is the black powder ilegal in there?
@@pontadanpablo5895 Yes!
where do you get that white barrel
nice.
You linked most of the things, but didn't see a link for the "plastic barrel"?
What rpm doest is it work?
you could used a knife honing stone and done the metal edges
Question:
You already have a rotation machine with rpm control...
Why not use it as a tumbler and make some adjustments to fit a barrel on it.?😉🤷♀️
Yes. I meant the Lathe😉
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.
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,
I wouldn’t put anything galvanised in there. They just come out looking as if they were galvanised.
I had no idea
Si bueno! 👍
Wo kann mann dieses Fass kaufen?
Würde mir gerne diese Maschine nachbauen.
Vielen Dank für dieses tolle Video.
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.
❤
What size of motor is that
How is the granite tumbling media working out. Does it last? Does it leave a heavy chalk on everything?
Thank you!
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.
freeidaho Did you try washing it every 30min?
@@MaxMakerChannel No. I need this to be a time-saver so no patience for that.
Thank you!
freeidaho Well adda quick release port and hook it up to waste water.
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.
Where did you find the barrel
Kayak equipment or chemical packaging shops.
8:55 cover wire with metal? Now that's a decision I wouldn't make :)
ooh ... s..t ... one more with a Laathe ... :D
dude you have a lathe make a small coupling for the motor
I could have probably made one, but it needs to be flexible anyway. I wouldn´t get the allignment properly.
Where can I find that container ?
Look for either chemical storage, or watersport supplies.
@@MaxMakerChannel found one! Thank you
Schönes Projekt! Aber bitte benutz doch beim nächsten mal Aderendhülsen bei deiner Stromversorgung!!!
Jan Dietrich Mache ich eigentlich immer : ) Dieses Gerät läuft nie unbeaufsichtigt.
That power supply should have come with a plastic panel to protect the in and output terminals.
Phil G I didn’t see one, but it is possible that I left it in the packaging.
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.
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!
Use granite chicken grit for media
Just use heat shrink for the whole rod.
Twizted Mowers Doesn’t have enough friction. I bought rubber fuel hose now.
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
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
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.
"Are your papers in order?"
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.
@@DownhillAllTheWay No worries it wasn’t taken at criticism! Good thing to point these things out.
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 think it is to mutch granit
Why?
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 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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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
