Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
I took apart a kitchen trash compactor to salvage the motor and gears, as part of my plan to build a wet tumbler that can tumble a drum the size of a 5 gallon bucket. The idea is to build it with free/salvage materials.
Its dumb that I'm working on this now, when I can't get primers and I'm barely shooting. Something to do, I guess.

Nice. Maybe post something up as the project comes together.Originally Posted by leightoncash
I love my wet tumbler other than it only does a few hundred pieces at a time.
I have the Harbor Freight dual drum tumbler and it works perfectly. The capacity is just barely acceptable for pistol brass, but it is really annoying with rifle brass. Whenever I get this done, I'll definitely make a thread explaining what I did..

I?ve got an amethyst mine. I had an air compressor fail so I made a open ended 60 gallon rolling tumbler for rocks but it would be fantastic for brass. The Trouble is that In polishing the inside of the drum for coating to protect whatever I tumble I discovered that it will hold over 200# of sand. Tumbling Media is lighter, but It will still cost hundreds to load with media whether I?m polishing rocks or brass. I built it for rock but I think it could tumble every piece of brass of every caliber I own at once.
