This is a Brand New Tumbler in the box. The pictures I show you are the same one, but my personal one. Yours will come shipped to you brand new and in the box. This same tumbler sells on the manufacturer's site www.Aeaubin.com for over $200.00.
Recently I've added alot of Precious Metal Clay to my work. The tumbler is indespensable for hardening the materail after you fire. It is also great if you want to solder something to the fired piece. Without burnishing or tumbling your solder will just get soaked up into the fired PMC.
This is great for jumprings, rings,anything you want to BLING! you can even put certain stones in this machine. The reason I chose to carry this particular tumbler as its made for metal. The little red or blue one you see are rock tumblers. They always leak. The hexagon shape of this barrel is far superior to the round one....AND This one never leaks. The manufactor did not include any instructions but its very easy to assemble and I've made up a brief discription on my own. You basically just put the Barrel on add your metal,water, stainless shot and go.
You can purchase burnishing powder and stainless steel shot in my store. I sell the stainless steel mixed shot and burnishing powder in my store. You can go there by clicking www.MyCosmicCreations. If you purchase this tumbler I will sell you shot at a discount. Just remind me you purchased the tumbler!
It is Model 510-electric with the 1 quart barrel. If you would like to see more pictures you can visit the manufactor's website at Aeaubin.com/rotary.htm. Since I need to purchase multiples of this machine to get the price I only carry this model. If you see another model you are interested you are more than welcome to ask me to get it or to order through the site.
As always, you are free to ask me questions. I personally use this model all the time and I'm extremely happy about it.
