Mastercraft Polishing Tumbler

[Buster95]

I never used a tumbler before, the Mastercraft Polishing Tumbler is a good one?

I bought one on sale a couple of years ago. Had to return it.

Noisy, very hot, metal for threaded post in center so cheap that the post strips and breaks.

Will not even have one in the house again for fear of fire.

Mastercrap...buy a real one not a toy.

A couple of freinds of mine bought them a few years ago , both didn't last much more than a year. I have a lyman turbo 600 that I have been using for over 25 years and is still going strong.

Same here I bought one on sale for dirt cheap, lasted half a year and rattled itself apart. Did a horrible job of tumbling too

Send me the money. I'll throw it out the window when I'm driving. I bought one, lasted about two sessions. Pure unadulterated crap. Bought a Frankford Arsenal about the same size. I also have a little Thumblers Tumbler.

Frankford Arsenal makes a good, cheap one. Mines a few years old and has yet to give me a single problem.

Mine took some tweaking to get the rod and thumb nut working without heating up. Had to add extra washers and make wooden spacers. All's good now.

Thanks for your help guys

Lyman Turbo Tumbler. Never had an issue.

 

[Ganderite]

My Lyman is 25 years old and still going strong. I use Princess Auto and Shooting Supply crushed walnut in it.

Another vote for the Frankford, mine ran great up until the day I sold it. I beat the crap out of it. Constanstly ran it overloaded.

I purchased a small Tumblers tumbler a few years back and then added the larger unit.. no issues and very satisfied

 

[Tex Critter]

Pure garbage as all have stated. Mine literally flew apart, stripped threads, bowl wore big hole. Totally useless.

 

[dogzilla]

My turbo tumbler lasted 2 hours, and Lyman said if I wanted warranty work I had to send the whole unit to the states on my dime.

My Lyman was purchased in 1980 and still going strong. I think the latest generation of Lymnan tumblers might be sourced from the same factory that builds the CanTire tumbler.
