Hello all Very new to this and I of course have a question. I reload my own ammo and I have a vibratory tumbler for cleaning spent shell casings. Can this be used for rock tumbling? If so it will save me from buying a new unit. It looks very similar to one purposed for rocks.. Thanks Daniel

I have one from Harbor Freight that my husband put some kind of liner spray in it. Works really good

I used one with Raytech bowls and it worked great but OMG it was noisy. Raytech bowls are smaller so it doesn’t put a big load on the tumbler. (rocks being much heavier than case’s) It’ll work but it may shorten the life of you tumbler.

daniel58, if the tape is blue the machine is good for rocks and if not the motor will not hold up to heavy use.
