    Default Magnetic tumbler polishing machine

    Anyone tried this tumbler, supposed to take 30 mins and is quieter. Any use?

    Not many members have a magnetic tumbler Sheena, but those who have written about them were pleased not to see the pitting due to the needles which you get in a rotary tumbler.

    I have never tried one but apparently a downside is the magnetising of the needles if the container is left in place after use. This causes the needles to clump and not function properly.

    An entry level machine is the Bumblebee, which is much cheaper but has a reduced capacity. Dennis.

    Will check it out liked the idea it supposedly wouldn't take so long. The idea of something running for 2 hours would drive me crackers!

    If two hours would annoy you don't take up tumbling stones machine will be running minimum for several days.
    The magnetic tumblers I have come across produce a very similar sound to a ultrasonic cleaner on a high setting

    I don’t have anything like that Sheena but unless you can shut it away I don’t think it’s for you given a constant noise of some sort
