Hi everyone,
I was just about to buy a barrelling machine, when i read all the terrible reviews on this forum.
I've gathered from all the threads that a magnetic tumbler gets better results, is less fussy to clean out and is quicker. I'm also looking for a more highly polished finish.
Have I got this right so far?
I tend to do smaller pieces, and work mainly in silver and gold. Rings, earrings, pendants. They're pretty solid pieces, so nothing really delicate.
I've been out of the jewellery game for such a long time (20 years), that i'm catching up with all the new tools and equipment on the market.

Anyway, can anyone advise on where to buy a magnetic tumbler and which one? I'm not producing in high quantities, so wanted a starter machine (if one exists) and would love some recommendations.
Or can you post a link to a previous post that i have missed?

Thank you all so much. I don't know what i'd do without this forum.

Sue
