Getting into the hobby and boy is there a lot to know! A couple of years ago, my GF gave me a tumbler for Xmas...and I was happy but too busy to really get into it at that point. Well, I opened it up (thinking it would be a Loritone 3lber and it's a Raytec TV5 Vibrator...well got some local flint I found in it now, will see how the 1st batch goes.

Greetings [kaldorlon], firstly may i welcome you to RTH from the other side of the pond! Do you know that vibratories should only be used from stage 2 F220 (120/220), right through to final polish & burnish, rotaries must be used for stage 1 F80 (60/90). Also saw cut stones & slabs can be started with stage 2 F220 (120/220) grit. Please check out my Sticky's below. -- Please click images to open larger images in a new Tab, same with everything that is Underlined! I hail from (The Barony of Seabegs) Bonnybridge, Stirlingshire, U.K, where aliens (15mb) sometimes come for a visit & about 4 miles west from this monstrosity! Sticky's: their contents are resource information 1#: Vendors worldwide (2mb), 2#: How to use the forum, 3#: How to identify rocks & minerals, 4#: Save money on expensive grits & polishes, 5#: Aussie Lapidary Forum: Rock Tumbling Guide!
