Greetings [aliengreensoul] firstly may I welcome you to RTH Forums from Scotland!
I currently have two Lortone rotary tumblers the QT12/66 20kg (44.09lb) using 12lb barrel 10kg (22.04lb) using both 6lb barrels and the
Commercial C300 series 60kg (132.27lb) using three 12lb barrels or 50Kg (110.23lb)using a pair of each 12lb and 6lb barrels.
I had a 3lb Beach tumbler, and a 6lb Evans CR2 tumbler.
Lortone QT66, Lortone QT12, Lortone C300 with a pair 12lb barrels a 6lb barrel and a 3lb Evans rubber barrel sitting upright between the
3lb Beach and the Evans CR2 with two 1.5lb and a single 3lb rubber barrels, both Beach and Evans tumblers are made in the UK for the UK market.
I also have a pair of Viking Vibrasonic vibratory tumblers with a pair of each 6lb and 14lb hoppers, in addition I also have a 6 wheel 150mm (6 inch)
Hans Lapidary Grinder and polisher, with 60 grit (F80) and 200 grit (F280) sintered wheels each weighing in at 4.7kg (10.36lb)
also F600, F1200, F3000 soft wheels, plus a expando wheel with both F14,000 and F50,000 belts.
All machines I have or had all run at 75°C (167°F)!
WOW Quite an impressive collection of tumblers I'd never have enough Rough to fill all those but from what I've been seeing I think I might try to afford a QT 6 though a little more expensive than the 3a and 33b I think it might be for me and thank you all for letting me know that the "weak motors" was all just fallacy that i heard which is great to hear very happy and confident~~~ALIEN
