    Theoretically... couple teaspoons of magnesium powder, bit of teflon & then add spark.

    have a treadmill slated to use the motor on a vertical band saw conversion, wood - metal cutting.

    In the mean time since dillon's large case tumbler is on b/o until who knows when. I put the treadmill in to service as a brass tumbler. Click on pic, sorry no sound.

    Thanks. I remember some people doing this with old motors on rollers, or torn down treadmills. I'm lazy and see no need to redo what's already available, outside some brackets etc. i welded up


    I have all this brass to clean up and possibly process, or not before listing for sale. Instead of burning out my corn cob on dirty brass. I went with the hf walnut blast (fine) media. 1 hr using only a few drier sheet to keep dust down. This does what i wanted with minimal use of the finishing (corn cob) media.


    Will weigh them next go round, to see how many i can do per session. Quick shot of some b4 & after, using basic walnut media. I know the finish polishing will be nice.

    Wow! I never win anything but I won a raffle today. I've entered the Rocky Mountain Bighorn Society raffle for several years and this year I was tempted by a sheep hunt in SW CO since I gave up drawing a bighorn tag in my lifetime. Didn't get the hunt but got lucky and won the Swarovski 10X42 EL Range binoculars raffle (or any Swarovski Optic of equal value). I have decent binoculars so I think I'll opt for a new spotting scope. Thanks to the RMBS for all the good work they do!

    A friend won a custom-build hunting rifle in the same raffle. Be generous, play the odds and sometimes you get lucky.
