Looking for a member in the Dallas area who is using the Stainless Steel Media method and the Thumbler Tumbler’s equipment. Would like to see results first hand and compare with sonic cleaning.

I'M not in DFW but i gata say I would never go back to the old way. I wish I had found this long ago... you wont go wrong
 
Re: Dallas area shooter who uses SS Media

Where do you buy this media, and also does it only work in the rotary version vs the vibratory type? Thanks

This only works with Rotary Tumbling.

PM sent for the Media Contact info.

I've done three loads of .223 so far and think this is great! Soon, I'm going to post a topic with photos.

Soon, but not tonight.

79M1A-Texas Questions:

How many cases can you clean in ultra sonic cleaner at one time?

How long do you have to run cleaner per load?

What kind of cleaner??? soap do you use?

How much cleaner/soap per load?

What is cost of the cleaner for gallon? Or however it comes?

Do you have to change solution each time?

Re: Dallas area shooter who uses SS Media

Interesting, my Dad was a watchmaker and he had a ultrasonic outfit for cleaning jewelry that would hold probably 50 cases. It did not get too dirty with just cleaning bracelets, watchbands etc but I remember he had a special cleaner he had to buy.
I will check out 6BR website. Thanks.
