I would think that the only problem would be going up in bowl size for a machine designed for a smaller bowl as this would put more strain on the springs and motor. Therefore, I would mot expect any problems going down in bowl size as this would be less weight on the motor and springs. I'm more concerned with the movement within the bowl at the smaller size, and if the bowl will fit. I need a second bowl to avoid lodging grit in the walls. Or I may try to line the inside of the bowl with a material more resistant to grit-lodging. I'm thinking about using a pourable or sprayable material to line it -- plastidip, flex seal, truck bed liner from a spray can, questionable application of JB weld on the entire inside, etc., or even just casting a new one. I tried lining a bowl with Flex Seal. The rocks tore it up immediately and I had little bits of black rubber everywhere.

Welcome from Southern Nevada.
Make sure that what you have is actually jasper. Many rocks get improperly named. For example, bumblebee jasper is not jasper, it is a calcite. Rainforest jasper is not jasper, it is a rhyoite. Etc.

Found a few cool things by the bridge and further up the river, but nothing in an abundance to make the time searching that worthwhile. Did much better up the canyon.

Welcome Ashley.
Except for the two metal wheels, the soft wheels are color coded for grit.

I get the cardboard produce boxes that have the high walls and lips up top to help catch flying fragments. Then the I place a cast iron railroad tie plate in the bottom and put the rocks on top and smash them with a small sledge hammer. Very little of the fragments escape the box. I could put some more cardboard over the front hole to catch more I guess.
