Howdy All, hope you're enjoying the holiday season! Never been here before so stopped in to see what its all about. Got my wife a Lortone QT66 for Christmas and thought I better visit here and learn a thing or two. Neither of us have done this before so getting the QT66 was a guess on my part. She didn't specify model on her Christmas wish list, it only said "rock tumbler". Oh, and she got 4 larger (5 pound I think) tubs of grit and polish. I'm hoping she will join here too but for now its just me. We're from the south end of Vancouver Island.
Long intro eh...
Cheers!

QT66 is a popular model around here. Good choice. Welcome to the forum! I am also new here, but I’ve been here long enough to know it’s the right place to learn. Lots of helpful, knowledgeable folks here, eh?

Welcome from Northern Arizona! You're definitely in the right place for learning how to use that tumbler.

Welcome gdrew888 . You made a great choice in the Lortone QT66. Most of us here started with the 3 lb tumblers and moved to the larger 6 and/or 12 lb tumblers. Ignore the instructions that came with it as far as rough grind is concerned. Move them on when you consider them ready. Most of all, good luck and enjoy the hobby! Jeff A

Welcome from New Jersey. You nailed it with the QT-66. It’s what I’m using and it’s a great machine.
