I received this tumbler yesterday (a bit earlier than was estimated) and of course I had to get it up and running right away. At first I wasn't sure if I added enough/too much water because the grit didn't seem to stick to the rocks too well. When I checked before bed it seemed to be sticking much better and the rocks were thoroughly coated. Here I am, about 21 hours later, and I am so thrilled by how smooth the rocks have become in such a short amount of time. It would have taken AT LEAST a week to get to this stage in my rotary tumbler.

I've collected rocks (mineral specimens) since my Dad took me out to a road cut in the late 60s. We've used a number of tumblers through the years and even tried a vibratory tumbler. The Lortone 3A tumble stands with the best that we've tried. The container is easy to open and fill. The tumbler is quiet and very reliable.

Our American made 6" Trim Saw is ideal for trimming facet material, opals and rock slabs of all types. The saw table has a large working area measuring 15" x 9". The durable housing is made of unbreakable cross-linked polyethylene which cannot rust. The housing and all plastic parts are guaranteed for life.

This rock cutting saws durable housing is polyethylene and can be emptied from a 1" plug in the side.
Empty it is easy to move. When it is Full of coolant it provides a strong stable base to work with.

I just finished a book by Steve Hart called Modern Rock Tumbling and felt it warranted a post. This is a REALLY good book for Newbie tumblers. Unlike many lapidary guides that cover all aspects of

Home " Rock Tumblers " Rock Tumbler Grit Tumbling Grit: Tumbling grit is sand-sized particles of silicon carbide. That is where the name "grit" comes from. It is an abrasive material that is placed in the tumbler barrel with your rocks. Silicon carbide is much harder than the rocks that you will tumble.

Please bear in mind that the above examples represent only the tip of the iceberg; by no means is this a complete picture of the possible dangers any lapidary can encounter. I do hope it's enough to get your attention. Lapidary work should be a fun and enjoyable endeavor, but clearly, what you don't know CAN kill you!
