And here I thought I was the only one doing that pour off inspection .... Grit is too expensive not to use it up. Electricity too expensive to waste on worn out grit. Same tumbler, same wear rate, same stones, repetitive process, pretty sure grit is shot after X days. But anything new gets the ole inspecto. Yup, it's all expensive. In my earliest tumbling days, before I got the formula down, I always had grit left over. At one point I had saved a bunch of it. Used it in a load and it did just as good as fresh. I still pan out my rinse bowls and save it as a matter of habit. Over the last two years I have saved about a cup or so ....
