A quick question to all the tumblers out there. Could you measure your roller spacing for 3" & 4" canisters?
This forum has been a wonderful resource for building my first tumbler.
Thank you in advance for your responses.

OK...my 4" canisters are actually around 4 3/8 inches in diameter. You'll want the rollers just close enough together that when the canisters are tumbling side by side they don't rub on each other. The rollers for my 4 inchers are 4 3/4 inches apart on center. I think (others may disagree) you can have the roller spacing be the diameter of the canister plus 1/2" on center.
