Cup Turner for Crafts Tumbler,Tumbler Cuptisserie Kit with Motor-Perfect for Glitter Epoxy Tumbler DIY Crafting

Super easy to assemble. Spins nicely. It does get pretty hot, unlike other brands I have. Also there is a screw that keeps coming loose. When I spin a cup I have to make sure it spins to the right, otherwise the screw comes loose and it stops spinning the cup. It’s a pain to keep tightening the screw. Not my #1 turner but it does work when I need a back up turner.

Bought this a few weeks ago and it has approximately 40+ hours of use and the motor is still working fine. The motor does get hot, but as long as if functions, it's not a problem for me. There is a hexagonal head that gets screwed onto the motor's shaft. Then a PVC end cap with a screw-hole in the center gets attached to the hexagonal head by a single screw in the center of the cap. This is where the main point of failure occurs. No matter how tight you turn that screw between the hex head and the PVC cap, any rotational force you use to take off or adjust your cup will cause that anchor point to become loose. This will cause your cup to be motionless as the motor is still turning. I solved this by taking a mini-torch and heating the metal hex head while attached to the PVC cap with the screw in it (NOT attached to the motor at the time). That causes the hex head to soften the plastic cap and mold itself into the metal part. I added a shroud of glue around the screw and cap just for good measure. Now it works fine, but I don't know how much rotational torque that anchor point will withstand. Seems like a better product would have a solid connection between the motor and turning PVC pipe. BTW, you can change the direction of the motor rotation by just cycling the power.

I had some trouble with this product when I made my first tumbler. The PVC pipe kept coming off of the PVC attachment part, luckily my cup didn’t completely fall and get ruined, but it was annoying having to check it often to make sure it was working correctly. I have never had an issue since. Idk what happened that it works perfectly now, maybe it needed to be broken in.

I bought one, then realized I was going to need another due to time and lack of planning so I bought a second one after running the first one about two days. They work great except sometimes the pole comes off and you have to take it apart and tighten the screw for it to keep turning again. It’s a very basic structure so easy to put together and fix. I run it all day while I’m at work and though the motor heats up, it doesn’t stop and I’ve been using them for a straight two weeks. I’d buy a third if I needed to.

I'm new to making tumbler cups. My first cup was awesome, but it hasn't been a smooth road. After applying my second coat of epoxy on my first tumbler, the tumbler quit spinning on me. After spending an hour manually turning the cup, I discovered from a previous reviewer that the screw connecting the motor and pvc pipe comes loose after it spins for awhile. I had to manually spin my cup with one hand and with the other loosen the pvc pipe, tighten the screw, and attached it. I thought re-tightening the screw would have solved the problem, but once again, my next cup (just applied fresh epoxy) stopped turning due to the screw getting loose. I had to do everything one handed again which was even harder than last time b/c the pvc was attached too tight. Once I got it loose, my wet cup landed on the garage floor..destroyed. This turner does its job, but I'm guessing if you don't keep tightening the screw everytime, the pvc pipe will stop turning. Not sure if every turner is like that, but it's very disappointing.

It worked really well for a month and then stopped working for no reason to my knowledge. Most likely just happened to buy a faulty one. Oh well. I bought a 5 cup turner recently. But its great for those starting out.My son kept telling me it was super annoying though to listen too.

The media could not be loaded.  I did my first tumbler. It was a small one Soni had to get a smaller foam for it. After 6 hours of turning it started making a horrible sound. I understand they need to be on the tumbler for 8 hours so I'm very dissapointed. Although inturned it off and turned it back on and it started turning in the opposite direction and was quiet again. Not sure how to make it do that on purpose since it only has an on off switch

The foam was to long for the tumbler would tip down when rotating and the pipe part was to loose and would not spin had to keep an eye on it. Had to redo parts so it would work better once that problem was taken care of then it worked fine.
