With a Model T Kit Rock Tumbler you can polish more than precious stones. You can also flat off the edges of castings and casings. This unit has come to be favorite for its small size and durability, and used by jewelers and machinists who need sure materials to have a high gloss shine.
With a weight capacity of 3 pounds, this unit is designed to cope small batches of rocks, or other items, to be tumbled. The water tight lid keeps the contents confined, in the rubber drum, with the silicon carbide grit to furnish a flat and shining object without the rough edges.
Heavy gauged steel is used to establish the base which helps keep it in place on the table top while in use. It provides good service with many hours of use and require approximately no maintenance, and is easy to clean. For its size, it is a durable unit.
This engine is driven by a belt action which has a protective cover to preclude little fingers from being pinched in the turning belt. It is powered by a motor that requires 115V and delivers 22Watts, with a built-in thermal overload protected circuit. It measures 6L, 6W, 7.5H inches, with a 1 year warranty, when new.
When measuring items to be turned, keep in mind that you may have to reduce the volume of material to only half of the internal capacity, so that there is enough room for the tumbling action to work. Some materials are lighter than others, yet could be much larger in volume.
Whether you are a hobbyist jeweler, or into clay modeling which requires smoothing off the rough edges of your craft, this little turning wonder can help make your items flat and shiny. Its ageement size allows it to fit in just about any suitable location for continued use in providing you with ability results.
