That vibrasonic is awesome. Here's how I'd use it, (or how I use my vibes). Using a rotary tumbler, tumble your rocks in 1st stage, then do the 2nd, 3rd, and polishing stages in the vibe. You can also do the stages 1, 2, and 3 in the rotary, then use the vibe for polishing only. Problem with that is that it will take longer. You got yourself a great deal on those.

I can do a lot in my rotary 1st stage then just move them to the vib? Do I need to keep one of the hoppers just for polish or just clean very good ? Can I do 1st and 2nd in rotary then keep one for 3rd and one for polish on the vib? Thanks Steph

It seems to me a great deal, Steph! You could try to polish some slabs on that vibe lap.

Great buy Steph! I have a vibe lap and it's about to drive me nuts! I think it may be making a trip to eBay. :-)
