10.5 inches across?  10.5 x 4.5 would be a LOT more than a 6 lb barrel. Thumler's makes a nine pound barrel that is 7.5 x 4.5 which would give you your 4.5 to fit on the rods. It's called an A-R6 (but it's a 9 pound barrel - go figure) maybe you could just order the barrel. At the bottom of this page: www.thumlerstumbler.com/rotary.htmlI've got a boat load of older tumbler barrels out in my shed, I don't recall any of them being 10.5 inches across though. Will check next time out there. |

Yes, There is a confusion with Inside and out side. . These steel drums have been a standard In the Rock Tumbling Industry since the early 1960/ . They are all the same size . Round steel drums with segmented sides. , wheather it is a Highland park, Scott murray, Star diamonD, Craftools,. Or Sears., and early lortones. They are all the same.
They are Not rubber . . There not new . i happen to need a Few
