It has been running for a few days in a greenhouse that gets to 110-120 degrees and full sun.Motor is a 700 RPM commercial A/C fan motor.Rated at 1/8 horsepwer!! Barrel weighs 63 pounds gross weight,50 pounds of it is the rocks.It ran 30 pound barrel for years.I take this to Florida camp to remove lime coatings off silicifications to grade color and pattern quality,rejecting the sub standards.Motor is hot,but not enough to boil water on casing.

I was a prototype designer/builder for corporate manufacturing company.I was paid to build what factory workers needed to do their job faster and safer.Had lots of resources.It's really ugly:>

Gee Mario.That tumbler gets washed down and has grit caked all over it.The gravel in the green house floor has turned to grey clay from dumping the slurry right on the floor LOL.Tumbling is dirtier than my mud plant operation. Ugly(and cheap)works!
