Place this in another topic earlier but realized it should have been on its own with all the info....

Just wanted see if I could build a commercial grade home built Stainless Steel(S.S.) media Separator.

As some have complained here as I have, the S.S. is a great media for the shiny brass finish BUT it is a PITA to deal with.

The commercial versions run around $50 plus tax ie: Hornaday Separator.

This one below was built for $22 with tax in - all the main parts were from a Dollarama store.

Is it worth building if you have 90mins apprx? I ll let you decide.

First off - The media cleaner:

Added the discarded toilet plunger handles inside the basket to increase agitation.

The unit was tested with brass & S.S. tumbled inside and the end result was successful ! please note the S.S. on the bottom of the storage bin.

Please note the lack of S.S pins on the towel.
