Choosing a Rock Tumbler...
Rock Tumbling is fun for the entire family and makes for an easy hobby. Think of how the ocean rolls rocks into cobbles or pebbles in the sand for decades, smoothing them much like a tumbler. Or how a craftsman would go about sanding imperfections out of a project with sandpaper. You would start with a coarse grade of sandpaper and switch to finer and finer abrasives until the surface becomes smooth. REMEMBER: When buying a rock tumbler, you get exactly what you pay for! A rock tumbler is a machine, not a toy and is intended for use by or under the supervision of an adult!
Today quality built tumblers
are built with a sturdy base of all metal construction, lead free certified coatings and operate with a thick rubber barrel, which makes for a compatible operation with your normal home life! Designed to give you a smooth polished finish on rocks, glass, even metals! With our tumblers you simply add water and a specific recipe of silicon carbide grit as an abrasive to smooth and shape the stones with much faster results. Remember these rocks were created over millions of years so waiting 4 weeks is a snap!
Our own lapidary workshop is running quality made rock tumblers daily 24/7 365 days a year, so we sell what we use, knowing from experience what works and what does NOT!
