how much for the one tube job? $150? Whats the diameter on the tube by the way? I've got some colored, quart strap sides need a turning. They gonna fit?

my tube is only a 3" tube which is perfect for soda's which is what i have, but i dont think your flasks are going to fit. and also i wouldnt feel comfortable tumbling other peoples stuff just yet, i have only tumbled one bottle so far and i cant seem to get rid of the slightly frosty look like maybe i need a finer polish

It is hard to make out,how the pulley is turning the tube,it does looks directly driven are you using a gear and sprocket?Are those stroller wheels?

it is direct drive, the pulley is bolted on so i have the bolt head running the wheels, which actually arent stroller wheels they came off of that old scooter i took the motor off of, i had to use them because skateboard wheels are too small and they made it turn too fast, as is this one turns a 3" tube between 64-68 RPM

be honest home many times have you been zapped? Is it grounded? insulated? man I don't want you to die using that thing.

i only got shocked once, it wont kill you just tingle your fingers, it is grounded so it will not burn your house down, i havent taped up the wires yet in still looking for an on off switch for it.

i already tumbled one of my chero's, and i must say it looks ALOT better than when i started, but i still cant get it clear, i dont know what im doing wrong but it stays kind of frosted, not real bad just not crystal clear, just enough to want to try to clean it
