Been reading the wet tumbling threads here, and came across a Thumler Tumbler Model A-R12 and Model A-R1 at the show this weekend for the low price of $45 for the pair..  figured I couldn't pass that deal up, they look new. The R1 was missing the drum but figured the motor was worth it if I ever needed to replace the one on the R12 (exact same motor).. Now just need to get some SS media.. I may build a bigger one using these as a template if I like the way how they work...

Good find. Not familiar with that model, how big is the drum? Off Thumler's Tumbler website... Model A-R12 No. 130 Deluxe, large 12 lb. capacity hexagon rubber barrel. Quiet, efficient operation. Well-suited for the serious rock hobbyist or for the sportsman as a case polisher for handloaded ammunition. Overload protection, continuous duty, fan-cooled motor. Model A-R1 Special Kit No. 102 3lb. capacity tumbler. One rubber barrel. Deluxe kit contains Model A-R1 tumbler (pictured left) which has larger motor than Model T, set of 4 grades of polishing abrasives, generous supply of polishing rock, jewelry findings. |

I have been looking for a deal on a 1/4 horse motor so i can build a tumbler. You hit the jackpot man!! Already built for you!!!!

Well, while helping a buddy set up for the Phoenix Gun show this weekend, I found this little gem on one of the tables for $20, of course I couldn't just leave without it. 
http://www.muta4warrior.me/webpictures/brass/2012-02-24_18-13-52_556.jpg that's a great find. if I see one at the gun show I'll grab it. I'm a little tired of the dust from traditional brass tumblers. |
