Someone offered me a hot dog roller ( for free) ...the heating elements do not work but the rollers do. Can I use this to tumble bottles - if I get canisters from the Jar Dr?
Tumbler... strange question

How many rollers and can you remove some? It sure would be worth an experimenting in any case.

Don't hot dogs turn really slowly? My guess is that they would move too slow to effectively tumble bottles. My jar-doctor tumbler will turn a 4" diameter canister a little bit faster than one revolution per second.

hmmmm... yes I think they will turn to slow. Rollers can be removed. I guess I shouldn't try and be cheap

Be cheap. Maybe, just maybe you can make this thing work. If I had this offered to me, I would do anything I could easily try. I wouldnt dump a ton of cash into it, but maybe you can change the gearing, maybe the speed controls can be changed to make it go faster. I wouldnt give up on it without tearing into it first and seeing what I could possibly change to make it work. You could have a very cheap tumbler. Maybe I am just cheap, but being cheap has helped me in the past.
