Parts Tumbler 01

[smvuy]

how hot is inside the thermal cleaning machine? does that tumbler also heats up?

[fiatnutz]

@smvuy - The thermal system runs between 450 and 600 degrees F. depending what material I am running. The tumbler doesn't need to be heated because I'm using diesel #2 for the liquid.

You could fill one of these with balls and polish aluminium parts with it!

Really nice machine!. bit noisy for my shop but it could be improved with a better enclosure and hood.

[gst69man]

can you publish the plans for this tumbler? Or send via email?

Neat vid thanks

[fiatnutz]

@gst69man - No, they are for sale for $6.00 $US. plus $3.00 shipping

sweet toy

[fiatnutz]

@Ls3guy - The best part about the tumbler it that you can put one or several parts in at a time - AND you don't have to clean them yourself - it's my best unpaid employee in the shop!

[Ls3guy]

@fiatnutz cool

[gst69man]

@fiatnutz nah, dont think so,

merry christmas

[fiatnutz]

@gst69man - Yeah, I didn't think so...

[seasonedtoker]

this thing just tumbles all the parts in a bath of diesel, that's all? you keep those random parts to do the cleaning like pellets do or that was your full batch of parts needed to be cleaned?

thanks john

Nice !

cool "toy" as always.

i do the same with a tumbler for ammunitions !

[pantherxx010]

nice way to build your own.

[ladams00]

John: Would you consider placing small bits of media (BBs perhaps) in the "eggs" to aide in tumbling of those smaller parts?

[fiatnutz]

@ladams00 - Probably not, you need media with somewhat sharp edges to clean the parts, round balls can't do that.

[citydriver]

dude thats freakin awsome

[zapwatt]

Oh jesus yes, I want plans to build a tumbler like that!

[Zachry86]

@zapwatt You really dont need plans. You get the idea here. Just go out and do it with stuff you have.

This isnt rocketscience.
