I put a thread together years ago on here titled " building a tumbler "

my screen name at the time was buzzkutt033.

if you use the search engine up in the right corner of the screen and type
in " building a tumbler ". you'll find it.

Why is the white pulley so big, all my pulleys are small. LEON.

I got most of my stuff at a " you pull it junkyard " up the road.

I grabbed all sorts of different pulleys/ wheels. the trick is getting it

running in the 70 - 80 rpm range. takes a little trial and error, but
if I can do it you can too.

the rollers came off Fleabay. I think they were $20 shipped to me. pieces from
the conveyor they use when they unload boxes off trucks.

My RPM is about 60 RPM's & I was told that was fast. And I use 2 really small pulleys to do it. LEON.
