I got the Lortone that has 3 1.5# barrels that I have dedicated to polish only. I bought a vibe over the weekend that resembles a TV-5. Going to play with it in a week when my current batch comes out of 60/90.

Going to play with it in a week when my current batch comes out of 60/90. I FINALLY got ALL up & running. It’s been months! All 4 lortone 1.5 barrels stage one grit only. And now 3 Lot-O barrels one for each stage 2,3, & 4! I’m super spoiled!! The man got me a double LOT-O for Christmas, and it took much longer than expected to get it mounted. If he had JUST told me the secret so I could have planned to be ready after the new year!! 🤣🤣🤣 Now that I’m cranking out shiny rocks again, I’ve got to get my projects for them going too!! Fun, fun, fun! Can’t wait to hear how you like the TV5, someone from here just messaged me and suggested one.

I posted it on here asking if it was a good deal. I am going to tey to find a user manual online for it.

Beautiful batch nursetumbler! Patience has never been my strong personality trait either - it's very difficult for me to leave the machine alone and not fiddle.

Just got 5 Lbs of this from the Rock Shed. Glad to see it will shine! I do my polish runs for 3 weeks (with no looking!). Even in my vibe they run in polish for 5 days. THe pay off is so worth it! Great job on that batch
