Frankford Arsenal Master Tumbler Kit

Looks strong but ships with US spec - wrong plug and wrong voltage for UK. 120v/60hz. So needs a substantial adapter / converter to use. I

Ole Timer retiring home built coffee can tumbler after 35 + years, wife says the old furnace motor is running HOT and may catch fire in my gun room in the basement. Yep she's right .served me well from pistol to 375 rifle. My NEW vibrator KIT is really Great and on SALE. If you know reloading like I do you know CORN lubed is good for pistol 4-5 times fired. But rifle needs Walnut and treated in order to polish with what ever you decide works for you. Brasso/Nu Shine or some other more expensive stuff. Like what came with it. My local auto store supplies my blasting cabinet needs for automotive and has Crushed Walnut 18-40 . Just got a 25lb box on sale for under $20 Cn and it will last me another 35 years or someone else that cleans up my left overs. Best deal on the kit and crushed walnut. I don't care what others say this kit Is Great

This thing is pretty quiet, i was worried it would rattle or shake up the floor/carpet but its actually not that bad. Depending how much brass you put it in it, it'll just rattle for a few seconds as the brass circulates in the bowl but other than that its quiet, its a low hum, nothing alarming or annoying. You can make a soundproof box if you wanted to leave it running in a living room or so depending on your space. I also have it plugged into a timer so i just set the timer on the electrical outlet and it shuts off after like 45mins to an hour depending what i set it at. Please read the instructions. It comes with brass polish cream - Don't add your brass right away you need to prep the cleaning media. - first i filled the bowl with the agitation material/media maybe about 3/4ths the way up. - turn it on without the lid - as its vibrating add in the brass polish cream 4-5oz or so, on the bottle it says 3-4 oz for new media or 1-2 for used media - instructions say to let it run for 5 or so mins so the cleaning media is evenly coated with brass polish, i just used my hand to crush up any clumps. - After the 5 mins and no clumps - turn it off - ADD in your brass - lid, washer, wing nut, hand tight! don't crank it down just tight enough so the lid doesn't vibrate off. its a hard durable plastic but it can still break, don't crank it too tight - my brass is usually pretty clean out the rifle so i run mine for about 45mins to an hour and you'll see the results in the pictures. - the picture of the brass in the bowl is before and all the casings and such on the floor and in the containers are cleaned. - It does a VERY good job on the outside and a "good" job in the casings and flash holes. - if you want it really squeaky clean get the rotating tumbler with the metal pins and water/soap. - but its reloads I use a rotating brush to clean the inner casing and primer pockets. - tumble sifter and bucket is nice helps separate and recycle everything, id probably use the media a dozen or two times then swap it out for new cleaning media but it all comes down to how much brass youre cleaning and how dirty it is etc. Just eye ball it and change it as you would seem fit **your results may vary** - for 6.8 SPC I'm able to put about 100-150 casings in so there's enough room for everything to rotate evenly and not clank together in the media - for .45 I'm able to do 200-250 casings - for .556/.223 probably about 200 casings - for .30-06 50 about 100 casings - for .30 carbine 150 casings - 762x54R 50 casings I don't like to overfill or make it too cramped in the bowl. Overall the full kit gave me everything i needed to start off with and in the future would give me an idea what maintenance items to get or try what other people may have done to get better results by changing to a corn cleaning media or some other plant based media, different polishing cremes, and longer cleaning times. I run it almost 4-5 hours a day depending on how much brass i have to clean and then it just sits till the next time. no issues so far. happy with everything and i just set it and forget it.

Es probable que existan mejores tumbler, pero este tiene todo lo que se necesita para hacer un trabajo personal de muy buena calidad, todo depende de la preparación que se les dé a los casquillos antes de meterlos al tumbler, pero eso no tiene nada que ver con la marca ni el equipo, el tumbler y los accesorios que trae el kit funcionan al 100 %

Gift for the husband he loves it.

I know the price may be a warn-off for some people, how can something so reasonably priced be worthwhile, right? Well I'll be among the first to say this kit is the real deal. I wasn't expecting much for the price I was paying, but I was pleasantly surprised to say the least. The tumbler works very well, I have tumbled both empty cases and loaded rounds. Both came out like you would expect them to. I like the clear lid so I can check the brass while it's working. I'm still using the corncob media that came with the kit, once I wear it out I'll switch to walnut lizard bedding that you can buy at most pet stores far cheaper than buying "walnut polishing media". The media is holding up really well, but I clean my brass in an ultrasonic cleaner first. Takes the time I need to tumble down to an hour or two. I love the separator, it's great at getting the media out of the cases and hollow point bullets. The bucket catches the media and makes the whole operation quick and clean. UPDATE: Everyone speaks to how quiet this machine is. As I have no experience with any other tumbler I'll have to take their word for it. I have found a way to further dampen the sound of it, I took a length of 1/2" clear vinyl tubing and placed it over the threaded metal rod that comes up through the middle of the tumbler tub. I used 1/2" because there is a square nut at the bottom of the rod. I heated the tube so it was pliable and forced it over the nut and let it cool while holding it in place. Now when I use the tumbler it is quieter because the brass doesn't vibrate against the rod.
