Those are purty, as always. Just curious how you decide what to polish in your UV and what goes into the Lot-O's. Is it based strictly on load size or do you find some rocks finish better in one or the other? I've been contemplating getting a Lot-O in addition to our UV-10.

Never seen Zebra Jasper before. That's a whole bunch of shiny ones, for sure. A lot of color and variety. Thanks for sharing pics.

Is it based strictly on load size or do you find some rocks finish better in one or the other? I've been contemplating getting a Lot-O in addition to our UV-10. Al Thanks All. Yep Big Al ya hit the nail on the head! Mostly by load size. I have Stones "ON DECK" waiting their turn for the UV-18. So the Two Lot "O"s take the smaller stuff at present they are doing Pea Gravel which for P gravel nothing exiting but the LOT"O"s did a fine job on them they were used for filler and after a couple tumbles I Moved them to an ON DECK Container to go in the vibe starting w 220. I just purchased a UV-10 so that gave me a in between for the 2 LOT "O"s and the UV-18 at pesent I have (6) Thumler B's Turning (2) Lorotone QT66's (1) Lorotone 33B (1) Diamond Pacific 40-T So that is (10) Rotary's (2) Lot "O"s I UV-18 and one UV-10 so (4) Vibes for a Total of 14 Tumblers All run by Solar Power. I used to get a credit monthly but these Tumblers took care of that!!!! DAMNIT! You Can See My Solar Panels Here I Installed them back starting in 2015 and you can see it says Energy Efficient Solar but that was my Company Energy Efficient Heating and Air Conditioning, I just tagged it onto that. I have a Ted Energy System that I Installed On My Service Panels In The House and Garage and I take readings on 32 circuits and I know what each and everything costs me per day. Per week, Per Month and year. It Costs me about 25.00 on Average per month to tumble the rocks and sometimes as High as $30.00 If we are in the shop running lights cab king diamond saws or whatever. This is figured into the price of the things we sell.
