advice on which wet tumbler

[fungun]

I was torn between the thumlers and the frankford. A friend of mine had the thumlers but I wanted a higher case capacity tumbler. I went with the frankford platinum. It is an awesome machine and has a ton of capacity. I think they say it can hold 1000 223 brass. Its easy and simple. Gear driven with no belts.....

The Thumbler Model B is under rated at 15lbs capacity.
I load about 7 lbs of brass per load and the amp draw on the motor is still below its rated amperage.
I have not tried the Frankfort Arsenal tumbler to give my opinion on it.

So where is the cheapest place to get the Frankford tumbler? Thanks.

It might still be least expensive to get it from the states, but the dollar is really sucking it right now....

Cabelas.ca has them. About 300$ I think, for the kit.

Order yourself some extra lemishine while your at it.....

i was atually thinking of a cement mixer lol

I use a cement mixer, holds 8000 9mm cases and 20lbs of pins no problem. It's just the plain princess auto mixer with no mods. Seems to work just as well as my thumblers tumbler(sp) but much more efficient.
