Just wanted to know if there is a certain speed for the tumblers? I have qt66 and 3 lb both Lortone. How do you calculate what speed your tumbler is going? Welcome to the forum. QT 66 should run around 30 RPMs. 3 lb single barrel can be as high as 60 RPMs or so with the double barrel model being slower - anywhere from high 40's on up. To calculate, time for a full minute, and count how many times a mark (or tape) on the lid passes by a particular point. I still have the Lortone paper labels on my lids, to I count how often the "T" on the label passes by the (imaginary) 12 o'clock mark. When starting your count when your mark first passes, start at zero, as you have to complete one revolution to get to "one."
