Description: This range of tumbling machine barrels can all be used for metal barrelling / polishing - including for jewellery, coins and engine parts - on Evans, Beach and other brands of rotatory tumbling machines. The difference between barrels used for metal and stone tumbling is that metal tumbling barrels have internal fins (or vanes) to aid with the turning of the contents. This helps the metal items within the barrel interact with the tumble media (such as barrelbrite, cleaning compound and steel shot). All of the below barrels incorporate internal fins / vanes for metal tumbling. Following barrels available: Plastic barrels 1.5lb (680 gram) plastic barrelDiameter 11.5cm.

The ultimate accessory for both metal tumbling professionals and hobbyists. Plastic vs Rubber Barrels Economical and serviceable, plastic barrels are the standard barrels used by most tumbling enthusiasts. You will hear the contents turning, unlike rubber barrels, and though not too noisy it is recommended to run the machine in a room where the sound will not disturb you. The plastic end-caps are very tightly secured so before you use, submerge the barrel in warm soapy water and ease the caps off. Rubber is the premium option when it comes to tumbler barrels. Rubber barrels run significantly more quietly than plastic barrels, are long lasting and have easy to remove lids. Rubber barrels provide many years – in some cases, a lifetime - of reliable service. Using Double / Multiple Barrels Most tumbling machines, provided they are large enough, can be used flexibly with regard to accommodating more than one barrel at a time. The benefit of using double or multiple barrels is obvious in that this allows the processing of more than one batch at the same time (meaning you can have different batches at different stages of a process). As such it is a very efficient use of the energy being generated by the tumbling machine, as well as your time waiting for the tumbler contents to be finessed! The best rule of thumb is just to ensure that the barrels fit on the machine sufficiently comfortably for them to rotate, and that the maximum weight capacity of the machine is not exceeded.
