What is a favored barrel speed for coarse tumbling in 6" round pvc barrels? This will be mostly hard rocks...agates, pet wood, quartz, etc., I'm thinking along the lines of 50rpm. Thanks.

Well, I ended up with the "Money Pit Tumbler" running 6" barrels at roughly 46rpm. I think this will be a fine speed for coarse tumbling hard rock. If I need to I have a smaller motor pulley to slow it down if I get into some soft rocks.
