    Large capacity wet / stainless tumbler

    I build to order so you can have the color of your choice. 7-10 days sometime less.
    i build the frames in batches of 3.


    complete tumbler prices

    The tumbler with the small drum is $279.00 plus shipping

    Kit #1 price -- Small drum tumbler +7lbs ss media $320.00 plus shipping FREE BOTTLE OF LEMI SHINE INCLUDED

    The tumbler with 6" medium drum is $309.00 plus shipping

    Kit #2 price -- Medium 6" drum tumbler + 12lbs ss media $380.00 plus shipping FREE BOTTLE OF LEMI SHINE INCLUDED

    The tumbler with the 8" medium drum is $349 plus shipping

    Kit #3 price -- Medium 8" drum tumbler + 15lbs ss media $440.00 plus shipping FREE BOTTLE OF LEMI SHINE INCLUDED

    The tumbler with 6" medium drum and small drum is $359 plus shipping.


    The Tumbler with the large drum is 389.00 plus shipping

    Kit #4 price -- Large drum tumbler + 22lbs of media $519.00 plus shipping -- subtract $6.50 per lb if you don't want 22lbs of media FREE BOTTLE OF LEMI SHINE INCLUDED



    Tumbler frame with motor only no drum $239.00 plus shipping



    I sell the SS tumbling media for $6.50 a pound with purchase of tumbler or $7.00 a pound separatly plus shipping.

    average shipping to east coast is 45-50 and to west coast 65-69, texas and arizona 50-60


    I have tumblers up for sale, that i built as a project.

    I wanted more capacity than the thumler tumbler.

    it is powered by a 1/4 horse motor and have a drum speed of 70 rpm with the smaller 6 inch drum

    and 60 rpm with the larger 8 inch drum.

    The small drum holds 1 gallon of water, 5lbs of stainless media, and up to 4lbs of brass

    the medium drum holds 2 gallons of water 10lbs of media and up to 8-9lbs of cases

    the large drum holds 2.9 gallons of water, up to 15lbs of media, and up to 14lbs of brass.

    You need to keep the stainless media 1-2 lbs more than the brass for best results

    I have been running the large drum with 10lbs of media and 8lbs of brass and it works nicely.

    the tumblers have adjustable rubber feet also so it can be put on un-level surfaces and the machine can still be leveled.

    you can get either drum or both drums if you like the small drum is $40 separate medium drum is $50 separate and the large drum is $119 separate.

    I can also custom make any size drum needed from 6" diameter or 8" diameter pipe like a 2 gallon 8" drum for $109 or a 3.5 gallon 8" drum for $125

    the tumbler with motor weighs 40 lbs, small drum is 5lbs, medium drum is 9lbs and the large drum is 11lbs

    I get my media here for $30.00 for 5 lbs plus $5.00 shipping

    the media size is #41x.255 just call them and ask for the stainless tumbling media, the lady is real nice and will know exactly what you need.

    Email or pm with any questions

    postal money order or Paypal for payment

    Do you have any problems with the media and the smaller flash holes in Grendel brass?
    “The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles.”

    actually that is a benefit on most other cases you have to watch for 2 pins getting stuck in the flash hole. but not on the grendel cases. one thing that does happen is some cases get pins stuck sideways in the mouth after sizing and tumbling lube off the cases. because the pins are .24-.27 long

    but i love how clean and like new they get and my dies stay clean. plus i don't have the dust and lead in the dust to worry about.
