Description:

The Covington Deluxe Tumbler is a precision-engineered tumbling machine manufactured with a distinctive hexagonal barrel that delivers superior tumbling action. The unit features a unique 3-way tumbling motion that works through three simultaneous mechanisms. The pieces tumble in the bottom corner of the barrel with a criss-cross and side-to-side action. The hexagonal design forces the pieces to change position six times per revolution, ensuring even abrasion and consistent results. Additionally, the tumbling motion moves a portion of the pieces gently up and down while rotating, creating a comprehensive polishing action. The slanted barrel design allows for easy access and visibility when checking progress during operation. This tumbler operates on standard 110-volt electrical power and comes complete with instructions and a product guarantee.

How it is used:

The Deluxe Tumbler is ideal for finishing and polishing a wide range of materials commonly used in lapidary work and glassblowing-related crafts. It is particularly effective for tumbling gold and silver castings, finished glass pieces, and gemstones. Glassblowers and lapidary artists use this tumbler to achieve a smooth, polished finish on cast or worked glass components, as well as on metal elements that may be incorporated into glass artwork. The tumbler is also suitable for polishing stone cabochons and other lapidary materials. The 3-way tumbling action ensures uniform abrasion across all pieces, making it an essential tool for professional-quality finishing work in both artistic and technical applications.
