Had some pretty good luck with auctions and looking for advice.
Bought a Mini-sonic for $200 shipped.
Started my first batch using it for tumbling some agate. Been using a couple of TBS with each step and occasionally spritzing with spray bottle when the action seems to be slowing down.
Bought a Thumbler model T for $66 since I read not to do the course grit in the mini-sonic. Arrived with loose grit and when I turned on sounded a little rough. So was wondering where the best place to get some mineral oil to soak the motor in. Already took my leaf blower to it but haven't drilled out the rivets yet.
Just closed this weekend on a Lortone 3A for $66 shipped. Maybe use both the rotary tumblers for the first two stages.
Bought a MJR Tumblers Rock Tumbler Media Refill Kit and 1/8" Ceramic Tumbling media off Amazon. I read something about borax, do I get that from the grocery store?
