I have made cabs using my work force saw and my bench grinder (thanks randy for getting me started with these items) the problem I have is that it takes so long using my rotary tumblers..omg months and months per batch. I would recommend a vibratory tumbler from thumblers. steve

Hi y'all, I am currently using AO polish and it does an OK job for tumbling most nay rocks. But it seems to take forever for a really nice shine to come up. Is there any other polish that may be better ? Thanks Steve
