Product Information

On the other hand, the unit is a bit loud. While this isn’t necessarily an engineering fault, it can be an annoyance to some people. This also depends on the place where you plan on using the machine. If your insulation is decent, then you shouldn’t be too bothered by this. The last important piece of any starter kit is the abrasives. This kit comes with a small amount of abrasive, enough to take the sample minerals through each step of the process. The Lortone 3a has a VERY quiet rubber barrel that has a 3lb holding capacity. And the best thing about the Lortone 3a was just how unbelievably quiet it was. Another telltale sign is if you see a lot of people online asking for replacement barrels. Of course, this can just mean that the barrel is low quality, but it more often means that the main mechanical construction outlasts many barrels.

It all depends on your need and the way in which you intend on using the machine. Rotary tumblers take much more money to produce better results. Vibratory ones don’t need any extra upkeep once you get it set up! Perfect for beginners. Easy to operate. Features an automatic shutoff timer so you can get bigger results and save energy.

The heavy-duty tumbling machine features a built-in programmable timer and a 1-pound capacity rubber barrel to reduce noise.

This starter kit contains half of a pound of stones to try out tumbling with. One of the most interesting and fascinating aspects of tumbling, no matter what level you are at, is getting to know the mineral you are tumbling. Now that you’ve decided on the ideal barrel size, you need to decide on the tumbler type. Rotary vs. Vibratory Tumblers Some people choose 3 or 5 steps for their tumbling process, and some change the process depending on the stones. Because grit abrasive is usually only found in bulk, this small amount is a much appreciate sample.
