I made a homemade tumbler earlier this summer and it worked quite well. I just ordered the Large Rotary Grit Pack from the Rock Shed. I am thinking of getting a vibratory tumbler and am wondering if I can use the same grit in it? I was looking at the Harbor Freight 5 Lb. Metal Vibratory Tumbler and the Raytech's Tumble-Vibe 5. I've read both good and bad reviews on both. Any suggestions on either one of these?

I think Rock Shed specifically states that the grit below like the 120 range should not be used in vibes. I have the Raytech now, I did return a metal vibe because I was told it wouldn't hold up to rocks.

Size the vibe for your production and go back in the RTH archive and look at the suggestions for what others recommend.
