Thumlers SS tumbler after resizing?

[Winny94]

I'm in the process of setting up my own reloading station after using family equipment up until now, and really starting to dig down into real precision work. I need to buy a cleaner, and while Ive had great success with the thumlers, Im wondering if it's too aggressive for carefully sized/properly neck tensioned cases to remove any lube residue. I prefer the SS tumbler for heavy cleaning, but don't really have room & money for that and a tradition tumbler.

Anyone use it after resizing? Any ill effects (especially in regards to the neck)?

I clean with SS media then resize using imperial sizing wax. Clean the cases with a towel and load like normal.

No need to retumble the cases again to clean the lube off the outside.

If I was going to use a spray lube and worried about it getting inside the case I would get a dry tumbler and tumble for 30 minutes or so to remove the lube.

SS tumbling is already a lot of work and I don’t want to do it more then I’m required to do.

I tumble, resize, trim length, wash in hot soapy water to remove sizing wax and air dry. I saw too many dings and dents in the case mouth if I did a second tumble.

I wet tumble after trimming and sizing, I do that to remove any burrs. If you're concerned about it and only have room for one, have you considered ultrasonic cleaning?

I typically decap, then SS clean for like 15 minutes. Then I do all my sizing and chamfering, then they go back in for abother 10-15 min cleaning session. Any longer and I think the SS pins remove my chamfer.
