Covington Machines - Deluxe Tumbler 220 Volt
SKU:

Description:
The Deluxe Tumbler 220 Volt is a powered rotary tumbler built with a hexagonal tumbling barrel and a slanted barrel design for easier access while checking progress. It is designed around a three-way tumbling action that increases abrasion and mixing by shifting the load corner-to-corner, side-to-side, and gently up and down as the barrel rotates. In a glass studio, a tumbler like this is used for coldworking tasks such as smoothing, rounding, and finishing glass pieces after cutting or breaking, and it is especially useful when you want consistent results on multiple small parts without hand-finishing each one.
How it is used:
Use the Deluxe Tumbler 220 Volt by loading the barrel with your glass pieces and the appropriate tumbling media for the finish you want, then run the unit while periodically checking progress through the slanted barrel access. This style of tumbling action is useful when you want the load to continually reposition during rotation so edges and surfaces get more even contact with the media. Adjust run time based on the amount of material removal needed and stop to rinse and inspect until the finish is where you want it.
