Unboxing and using rotary tumbler KD-6808

[@scottparry6322]

Thanks for your review, I am almost ready to purchase one of these units. How is your machine holding up after a year of use? Would you purchase the same tumbler again, are you still happy with it?

[@creativefnk]

Sure am! For the price point I think it’s great, still going strong, I’ve had it for 18 months now and no issues except the balls (shot) rusted so I bought some better quality ones apart from that - definately worth the money 👍

@@creativefnk had mine for 20 years, pretty much the same design although the body of mine is aluminium , still going strong, for those things try a bag of needles to polish with much better than ball bearings, you need a irregular shaped item or a very fine grit, way finer than play sand , plenty of recipes for different compounds to get a polish some are chemical and some just use lemon juice or citric acid faily liquid etc, Best results for polishing is barrel brite which is a uk product but its available in most places. its a powder that you mix and it makes a slurry , its got clay in it! Also brasso mixed with IPA is good

Hello, how many minutes does it take to polish silver rings?

[@vincentnastri7736]

I use mine to clean brass cartridges and found when I use the slow speed it tumbles and cleans better. I also use a small amoun

If it leaks turn the too bar retention screws 1 turn also use a bit of rubber or silicone character the same size as the circle it will never leak again

Thanks for the tip 🌼

Thank you for the review. Actually its a cheap copy of kd 6808 as the real one has a metal body and it was heavier. Instead this is cheapy plastic. The metal balls that came with it became rusty after first use so are not stainless steel.

Interesting thanks for sharing! I will look into this 🌻

Amount of dishwasher liquid with a dash of car wash with wax.

That’s a great idea thanks for the tip!
