Tumbler for stainless

[bosulli]

Looking at Ebay and Craigslist for a Thumler's Model B. Everyone here on the Hide have the Model B. Cant find a Model B.

There are some other makes and models that look like they should work. Specifically a Thumlers AR-12.

For tumbling with stainless steel media will similar models work?

Thanks

Me too. Every time I've checked, BA had the best price.

Dang! There was a dude on ebay that had one in good shape for $100 buy it now. He put it up 8 hours after I won mine for $123. It was up a few days ago. I just finished a batch of 80 .300wm brass, and it was fantastic.

Dang, I read your post too late. Just put a bid on another one. I would be happy to get one for $100 and be done.

I was getting alot tumblers with my search, but not any model B's.

Thanks

Sinclair (Brownells) has the HS Model B Thumbler Tumbler as a kit with SS media. I know there are a couple of different sources for the SS media. Does anyone know if the media that comes with this kit is GTG?

Sinclair Thumbler & SS media kit

The media is from Pellets LLC.

Can't say about the Sinclair media. I personally use and would highly recommend the media I got from Suasponte's source. Just PM Suasponte and he will give you the contact info. Very nice and a great product.

When I had a spill on the lawn last year it was a quick clean up of all that expensive media.

It soitenly is!

FWIW, the difference between the 'regular' Thumler model B and the 'heavy duty' is 10 RPMs. The regular is 30 RPMs and the HD is 40. I have the HD but I don't think it makes a lick of difference except the HD is that little bit faster getting them clean.

Cool, the media in the Sinclair/Brownells kit is magnetic also.
