Holy crap... I own that very tumbler! However, it's going pretty darn fast.K.I.S.S.
Not my video, but a buddy and I are setting up something similar.

I was looking at similar rotary tumblers last night, wondering about weight capacity. A version made by Lyman stated 30 lbs maximum weight.Haha, faster the better right? We ordered a slightly different (read: cheaper) unit, not sure what the top speed is. Hopefully it's geared a little bit lower.
I've almost always added water to the media... that would be a lot of weight!Without getting into speed issues, it seems like using these under the work load of tank tumbling would risk early motor failure.

Danny, I have a global, dual tank tumbler, with s/s drying rack, s/s washing rack, dual tank dryer, heat gun, the tumbler is mounted on 3/4" plywood so to tilt for polishing bottom of tanks. $1,000 buys package. willing to drive and meet you half way from Texas, this unit only used 6 times, CalvinLooking for a tank tumbler located in the Northeast US. If you have one or know of one please let me know via PM.
There's a spot near the neck on that tank that allows you to easily count turns. 106rpm. Almost twice what I'd want. That thing sure is tiny, though. You could store it pretty much anywhere when not in use. That's a big bonus for home gamers such as myself.Holy crap... I own that very tumbler! However, it's going pretty darn fast.
