How on earth do you churn out batches so quickly?! IIRC you are using a 33B for all stages, right?

Lortone QT66, 1 barrel for 69/90 for 1 week the other one for 120/220 again for a week. I have 6 - 3 pound barrels for pre-polish for 2 weeks, 6 - 1.5 pound barrels for polish for 2 weeks. With the Rebel and 46/70 I can get some rocks ready to move on weekly. Completed polish batches every two weeks. It took awhile to get the process this way so I can have rocks done every two weeks.

Haha, that makes a lot more sense! Do you have the high speed Rebel 17 or the normal rock tumbling one?
