Greetings All, The next tumbler I will buy will be another QT12 machine and another 12 lb barrel dedicated to polish. After that, well, I think it's time to save up for a few months and buy a commercial unit. Diamond Pacific sells a 36T3, one motor/frame with three 36 lb (or 15 quart) barrels. Anything larger and I would worry about being able to handle it comfortably alone. That's only, well, list price is $820, so it's a bit expensive. Time to start saving more money again I suppose, goodness knows I could never justify buying something this crazy on borrowed money ![::)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/eyesroll.png) William C

hmm that 65lber is a bit crazy...I don't see a machine like that in my near future....just happened upon a deal for a 12lb Lortone though for 49$ the dude just doesn't want it anymore...I figure even if the motors shot...I can pick a lortone motor up for 25$ and be running the 12lber ...I think that will suffice my needs for a while though....since I'm also looking into that vibratory tumbler...still wondering if its the better way to polish rocks, but I'll never know unless I try it..if I don't like it I can always pawn it back off onto e-bay..*shrug*
