Upgrading our Tumbler...AGAIN!

[@russtuff]

Whoa, you still rolling in the Volvo? You're my hero.

[@alexwolford2084]

Would like to see more about the dry finish compared to what you were doing before. Looks interesting. Always making the knives better.

[@Wunderbolts]

Tornos sunglasses, Kern shirt? now you're just showing off.

[@CrashingCarbide]

Matthew Sonn no joke.

Every shop needs a shop dog!

[@movax20h]

It is always so nice and weird, to have a supplier actually developing technology to save you money, that otherwise they would cash in. So weird. Still, in the long run, it makes them more appealing to new customers, so they get more customers. I wonder if they patented it or relay on magic trade secrets :)

Saying "but we'd have to kill you" to a guy that makes knives for a living, lol.

[@aserta]

If they added a small skirt to the lid, that might reduce noise even more. Generally speaking, noise is about penetration, wherever it is allowed to enter/exit, it will do so.

[@SamEEE12]

So I read that you're thinking of moving into a new shop, but... the second half of the workshop seems quite huge. If wall was also cut upstairs between the two mezzanines you could end up with another work space and have the downstairs space for machines so perhaps the swiss lathe could go in there and the hot work and vibratory tumbler could go upstairs.

3:24 The Ole shake and wipe. LOL

I'm just sitting here watching Falcor stare at everybody waiting for attention :3 Good Boi

[@steinarne79]

Now that is a big boy!

[@Dakakeisalie]

Wait, the new tumbler was 2 years ago!? I guess it was from last IMTS... wow has the time gone

[@SteveKluver]

Thanks for sharing this swap-out with us! A couple of quick question, if I may? 1) What model # is this one? I don't see it on their site. 2) Are the divided sections water tight from each other? Keeping the cob mixture dry, and preventing coarser sludge water, from seeping over to the not-so aggressive sludge watery side. Edit: I was on the wrong site. I was looking at vibrafinish dot com, and not the correct vibra dot com.

[@ErikGrimsmo]

The dry side is totally sealed, the other two compartments are not water tight even though they both have their own drains, but all the water comes from the same source anyway.

[@SteveKluver]

Thank you @@ErikGrimsmo. I was thinking if the wet bays were not tight. That the coarser grit sludge from one side, may seep under, and contaminate the other side. Say for example. 120g worn off of the media, getting under to a 320g side. Then every time the part makes a pass at the bottom. It could get some of the coarser scratches again.

[@Essaizbm]

@@SteveKluver Complete isolation is possible if the requirement calls for it. Machines can be built custom to suit the specific needs of the user's application. In this case as Erik mentioned, the effluent is recirculated and comes from the same place. Great question.

[@stevenrichardson7882]

Thought you were going to show us a comparison of the finish between your old and new tumbler 🤔

[@leighj8885]

Do we see a new knife design in the near future?

[@xenonram]

John, how long has it been since you've driven the ol' yellow vulva?

[@TheLevitatingChin]

Well fuck me. That's grand that is lads.

[@cdenman9655]

Any one have any idea how long the wait time is one their random list?

[@ErikGrimsmo]

yep, it's random. Good luck!

[@andrewgiles6192]

I give it 2 weeks till the old tumbler is rattling round in the corner again

[@liquidcobra1450]

Feel free to send me your old one. 😂

[@Essaizbm]

The old one is for sale as a refurbished tumbler @liquidcobra. Give us a call.

[@KarolisKauneckas]

I hate when stuff lasts short...

[@sunnysidecnc8533]

First 🍻🍻🍻

[@nicksuarez1572]

Just mass produce your knife's already

[@scottgrafton68]

@@John-ik2eg What's the name of it? I have to use aliexpress btw not Ebay because I'm in the UK and you can't buy knives on ebay... i don't think... Also... sorry John G. I'll never afford one of your knives so a knockoff it must be
