This is the best yet I've watched.

[@gortnewton4765]

Nice cleaning job. Love your ahem, contraption tumbler thingy! Just having a bit of fun, loved the video. I'm planning to make a tumbler and this is a good clue for me.

Cool! #1 Dumpster divers companion

It's super quiet . " WHAT ? " . " I SAID IT'S SUPER QUIET ! " . " OH YEAH ! CAN'T EVEN HEAR IT ! " " WHAT ? "

[@kjamison5951]

If you use smaller grit, there will be more of a shine on the parts. And it will also get in between the threads. Good demonstration. I'm heading to see how you made it! Thanks!

[@Mr10usdad]

What would be a good media for bolts?

[@calseynez]

This would be great for my rusty metals that need cleaning. Great results.

[@BobNchannel]

well done on the tumbler it works great

[@swengross46]

Ichiban Motos' cat litter has done the trick.

[@tito4696]

Very good results. And only make with scrap

[@whitneydesignlabs8738]

Great job. I will make something similar for small parts cleaning. I have been pondering the pros and cons of a sand blasting cabinet, with polycarb work viewing window, needing gloves, or rolling tumblers, or something like this vibrating system. Seems for a small shop, this method fits the bill.

[@davidsanchez-wf9ev]

what material are you use? and do you know if you can scratch the aluminium?

[@groobo1]

hello , i have questions , do you try copper cable ? insulation falls off ? :)

[@nathanmunro4042]

for some reason i find watching this so relaxing. like staring into a fire.

[@gravey07]

Nathan Munro after a joint?

[@danishqays2626]

nice! love ur videos..thanks for the tip. Appreciated!!

[@brazilchem]

And the neighbours, how do they love this?

[@1Ascanius]

You should perhaps try mixing your medium using silica sand it's cheap and readily available also to polish it of to a beautiful finish put it again into the tumbler filled with cat litter. Peace

[@jdcabauwnl]

I'm so happy that you are not my neighbor!

[@jnunez1203]

James lol

[@zurialjazz]

So the motor is just standard, with offset on the shaft to give the vibration?

[@SSJIndy]

It's like Bender the Robot making soup.

[@johnparrish8918]

You need to add water with a little of clothes washing soap it will help it from rusting again.

[@sirlenzelot495]

Are you able to get paint or zink coating off?

[@user-zv5wh4yo8j]

What rotation speed does this process use?

[@markbridgemanv8]

if you use finer media/sand will it give a shinier finish?

[@Shazzkid]

markbridgemanv8 yes

[@letstrythistv]

If you do it again in Walnut shell, they will shine up!

[@becomematrix]

This thing's neat

[@John-gm8ty]

Brass is quite soft, so garnet, which is VERY hard, isn't a good idea, you just wear the surface and edges off. and as Robert said, Vinegar takes rust off excellently, as does electrolysis (free if you're using a solar panel)

[@zanpekosak2383]

John Douglas Or HCl works great too.

[@radiowallofsound]

Id love to see a timelapse of a way too rusty piece on that machine

[@user-lf2bl2mo4h]

Is this process compatible with aluminum

[@jacopodelseccocappelli6488]

PLEASE NEED HELP with media: i tried , 1) sand 4 cats: nothing after 60min; 2) silica sand for cats : something cleans...but too much time 3) black sea sand (washed with normal water): no good 4) silica pool sand : no good after 2h 5) glass huge sand pool filter: a little bit better.. i m confused.. the media need to be heavy ? need to be of 2 /3 mm ?

[@calysagora3615]

First of, is your machine this powerful? Many weaker machines are typically left running over night. It seems to me that lighter mediums are more effective, people use things like crushed walnut shells, perlite, vermiculite, aluminium oxide, bentonite cat litter, etc. Which gives a much more polished result. Light media seems to flow more around the parts, rather than flow with the parts, and let's the parts bounce around more and hit the tray and each other, which probably helps. Parts seem to float on heavier mediums and don't grind along the bottom or hit each other at all. I'm thinking heavier mediums are probably great in rotating drum tumblers, which is another popular option.

[@robertostman2075]

if you had put these parts in vinegar... it would have taken care of the problem.... leaving the tumbler good for only perhaps a finishing touch... you would have saved a ton of energy or fuel...

[@bandit911]

Robert Ostman how would he have saved a ton of energy or fuel? vinegar is free to produce? the container it comes in is free to produce? not to mention 24 hours or more it takes to work with vinegar

[@philflip1963]

Neat and thanks for showing us, but what do the neighbors think when you run it at 3am on a sunday morning?

[@sjp1285]

😂🤣 I don't run it at 3am on a Sunday morning. To be honest I scrapped this tumbler 2 months after I filmed this years ago.

[@ernestoyepez8287]

y no te dara mejor resultado si le agregaras agua con algun derjente de todas maneras ami me gustaria hacer una maquinita parecida aesta para pulir rines de aluminio

[@hobbyrepair535]

How many time?

[@saqqusheikh3316]

is it sand???

[@MrBlackbutang]

Walnut shells polishing

[@The_Joker_]

And there was me using my media blaster finished 90 minutes before you .....

[@calysagora3615]

But he didn't spent more than a few second putting the parts in and out of the machine. I loved my sandblasting cabinet back when I had a big workshop, but it took lots of effort, and needed a quite serious compressor and water condenser to do any remotely fast bare stripping. And I never found any comfortable position to work in, in any of the ones I used. Golden when time is of essence, obviously. Restorations rarely follow that pattern though. I wish I built me a tumbler when I used to restore motorcycles and cars and mechanical gizmos.

[@djnoizex89]

yeah it is tiny enough, you do it all wrong - you need more sand, things wont clean before submerged

[@bandit911]

djnoizex89 bigger mass will still rise to the top, adding more sand will make no difference

[@paulsawczyc5019]

If parts are sticking up in the air, they are not being cleaned. The parts must be submerged in the "sand" - add more sand.

[@bandit911]

paul sawczyc it doesn't matter how much sand you add, the highest mass will still rise to the surface

[@savagenw477]

This video is proof that your statement is false lol

[@jerryocrow1]

I noticed the big piece never turned over. Looks like a top-down dragger/turner is needed. Still, the part itself looked well done.

[@libertylagrana]

it's better with cheese on top

[@wangamy3992]

A simple vibratory machine, but we usually finishing it with water, the efficiency will be better.

[@cheadycheady2040]

And it only cost $300 in electricity

[@capper6100]

Cheady Cheady Lol, realistically it would probably cost around $1-2 at most to run that for an hour

[@jessebyrne6582]

More vids?!?!

[@freeman7788]

Exactly

[@Aussie0zborn]

Your tumbler seems to turn rather than tumble, but a good result nonetheless.

[@georgeprime2249]

The container does not turn.

[@edgotbait]

You need more sand/media

[@kunjikorans]

It takes too long, too much electricity. Not worth it

[@calysagora3615]

Sachin Ki Can you please show us your calculation? What are you comparing to? New parts? Acid bath? Sand blasting? Hand cleaning?

[@artbyrobot1]

way faster than electrolysis or acid bath

[@dougclark5485]

I found myself wishing he would shut the damn thing off.
