Ok folks I have some bottles in there right now, i am pretty anal about turning them twice a day but this weekend I am going to be away and wanted to know if its ok if i leave them turning on the same side for those two days and if it is ok what would I do to make them even, turn them for two more days on the other side when I get back? Or would I just start turning them ever 12 hrs like I always do when I get back? thanks for any help

polish will be ok for a long time like that but i wouldnt do it with cutter, if you do leave it running turn them and run then the opposite way for about the same time you left them. works for me

I have left bottles on the tumbler with a the 1500 cutter and it polished it good. but not the stronger cutters, But most of your polishes and cutters break down as you tumble them.
I have let a junk bottle in for 10 days with 600 and it came out semi polished, just a little haze left, but let them turn with polish
