hope this is the place for this guys .i will try to load the video of a small tumbler i made .thought some might like the idea and have spare parts to make their own very cheap my cost was less than $5 and made in less than i hour > i may build a better tub but just wanted to see how this worked . so far not bad . if the video does not work it will be posted on my utube channel with some other how too videos . munchmounts channel utbe
 
Neat idea! I even have a gearbox similar to that kicking around somewhere in my messy shop. Although that have me an idea, I could use the gearbox instead of pulleys to gear down an electric motor for a home made tumbler.

depending on thr ratio of the gear box you may have to look around for the right motor .i think most turn at about 1725 rpm but you can find them i think that turn about half that rpm if i remember right. or put the smallest pully you can on the motor and largest on the gearbox. years ago i built a pig roaster and geared the motor down this way plus the gearbox the pig rotates about 1.5 rpm . post a pic here as well if you come up with something . i'm thinking a bigger tube to polish the munchmounts i make .
 
gone in sixty seconds music!


looks good, i was thinking it might be a little slow on the spin, but you seem to get good results so who can argue.

i know my press is not set to top speed but it does seem to do not a bad jog. only issue so far is the odd 9mm will fit inside the 40 cal and not get cleaned . also in such a small jug the centrifugal force my keep the brass from falling
