YaeTek Jewelry Polisher Tumbler 5Kg Mini Polisher Tumbler Rotary Tumbler Surface Polisher Jewelry Polishing Finishing Machine (5KG/11LB)

I love it. I buy vintage jewelry and this tumbler takes really dirty metals and turns them into shiny beautiful things that I can turn into something elseUpdate. I haven’t had this tumbler for even a year. Didn’t use it every day just occasionally and the barrel part has started leaking. Contacted the seller. They didn’t do anything for me and I am unable to purchase another barrel. The machine still runs but is useless without the barrel. I would advise anyone looking to buy a tumbler to make sure you can purchase replacement parts if they were to be needed.

This machine is awesome! Would love to get a spare barrel, though, to separate the set ups for the different metal materials we use in jewelry making.

Works great, if you get too heavy of a load in it, it will only turn one direction, not enough grip to go both directions, other than that works fantastic, I use to it to polish brass for reloading, does great for small batches at a time, few hundred pieces of rifle brass, supplied media isn’t the best for that. Would recommend this tumbler.

So far I am very happy with this tumbler. It does a good job and is much easier to open than the older style tumblers.A couple of points to share. --First, as has been mentioned in other reviews the shot that comes with this tumbler is not stainless steel and will rust.So, I won't use it. I ordered stainless steel shot separately.The front controls are misleading. The toggle switch that has the standard symbols of a line ( --- ) for On and a ( O ) for Off are not the On/Offswitch for this machine. That toggle operates as a selection between (---) a back and forth tumble, reversing itself after 30 seconds or so, . .and a constant ( O ), which only goes in one direction continually.The true On/Off is actually on the 'Time Control' dial.I don't suspect I'll ever need to use a speed faster than '2' which seems perfect. But there is an option for slower or much faster.The gasket holds the top on well with no leaking.I appreciate the addition of a spare gasket and drive belt.
