The barrels on my 33B always move towards the end away from the motor. I've even tried sitting it on a fairly steep incline and it would climb right on up to rub against the far end. After a year, the little nylon washer has worn away enough that the barrel is to close to the edge and the rubber part of the barrel is rubbing on something. Must be rubbing on the little plastic bushings that hold the rods in place. Anyway, I'd like to modify it to install a barrel guide like my QT6 has. I don't understand why the 33B doesn't have the same sort of guide already...

Haven't had the problem since. My husband says he is going to try to make guides for mine, I have 3 dual tumblers. 1 barrel dedicated to to each grit and 2 spare for longer tumbling stage 1 rough. 🤷♀️
