What is a Barrel Tumbling Machine?
A barrel tumbling machine is a popular tool amongst both professional and beginner jewellery makers. A tool specifically designed to smooth and polish a range of materials, a barrel tumbler which may also be referred to as a barrel polisher is a motorised machine that uses a rotating or vibrating barrel that is filled with a compound or barreling shot. As the barrel turns, the media will buff and clean jewellery, removing any oxidisation, scratches and marks.
Designed to ensure the cleaning and polishing of small jewellery pieces and components, barrel tumblers can help you to achieve a smooth and polished finish efficiently and cost effectively.
