I use floor dry. Works great. I have used mineral oil for over 10 years. Works great.

I have the Covington model of this design. I prefer my Covington rotary tumblers and Lortones. The Covington model is very quiet as the drum is poly vinyl. I had to get new thrust washers for mine (important to operation ) and a call to Covington. They gladly sent some for free. Great customer service. My covington rotary tumblers (3) have been going strong for over 12 years.

Tumbler polished cabs are my favorite. Very nice.

I have a similar Montana agate but with only two diamonds in white. I will try and post pictures.

I always put a patch of heavy black tape under the lid to cover the bolt location. This stops ant wear in the center of the rubber gasket. This has worked for me for past 7 years. My 3 lortone tumblers 6-12--12 are running every day.

Your saw oil looks like mine. Nice cuts.
