That is a cool machine sal. Dump ability is a huge feature. Especially with 4 gallons of rocks. Easy to remove cap-oh yeah. Pressure build up in this design is a non-issue too.

salpal48, that's an awesome machine. Did it seem to tumble rocks any faster than the normal rotary tumblers?

I never Clocked it for RPM's Sorry Sal, I meant does it grind & polish rocks any faster than a regular rotary tumbler? Mine has been running 5 days & I've pulled some rocks to check. It appears that it is quicker from what I'm seeing. Now I'm out of @:"%# coarse grit yet again....
