SO this year the wife and I were really expecting to owe Uncle Sam some tax money. We got very lucky with some deductions we did not expect to be able to take and made some wise moves with some retirement funds and low and behold we actually got a decent tax return this year. I was talking about getting A Thumler's Model B. They are on sale so my wife said "go ahead" so I went ahead. Should be here Tuesday and will hopefully get me ahead on my rough tumbles. My AR12 is great but I just cannot produce enough to keep the AR-2's fed with processed material. Gonna be some fun times re-read going the tumbler shelf to fit this bad boy in. Now that the nice weather is looking like it is returning I will be able to get the 14" slab saw cutting again so I should have lots of end cuts and saw scrap to go in as well as the normal tumbler fodder. I was going to add a Vibe as well, but I just don't have the time to babysit it (working 10 plus hour days for the foreseeable future) and with the rotaries I can skip a day. a week, or even a month if need be and the results only improve! I promise some pictures when it arrives!

stafen Agreed on not being able to CONSISTENTLY babysit a vib, plus they're noisier. Maybe someday. Let us know how it goes!

Congrats on ordering the model B, it’s a great machine and I’m sure you’ll like it. I find the model B to be quieter than expected and grinds rocks down a lot faster. Enjoy!

Congrats on the new tumbler! My garage is full of equipment too. I recently cleaned everything out and it was like going through and estate! Be sure to post pictures of its finished tumbles!

Congrats on the new addition, I also have the AR-12, and a vibe but would love to get another (larger) rotary in order to keep my vibe tumbler running nonstop. The model B would be my choice too. 😊
