I just got my Frankfort today. First thing is I tried in a vib tumbler , no go didn't do sh!t. I'm guessing to much weight . Works Wesome in the wet tumbler. Also picked up a food dehydrator at Walmart for $50 great dryer

I was already there! I've been using a small Thumler's and a double drum "Harbour Freight" unit for pistol brass. Both are too small for large rifle brass however.
These will likely end up on the EE.

Another repeat.

What's with you... you post in a thread as a newby people try to help and you make stupid responses

Went to the range yesterday and picked up a good amount of 223 and going to try the cold water laundry soap as suggested by silverfoxdj. Made sure I grabbed some nasty dark cases to give it a real test. I would of used some of my brass but since going ss, I have no dirty brass at home. Always willing to try new ways of doing stuff, plus it's not like the laundry soap wouldn't get used if it didn't work

Posted this in another thread, but I'll repeat it here. Building your own DIY wet tumbler is easy - saves $$ too.



If you're even marginally handy, just build your own tumbler. My setup cost around $30 to build, mostly from stuff at Princess Auto:

Old 1/4 HP electric motor with pulley (had this kicking around)
thread rod on sealed bearings, covered with black rubber tubing for grip
wood frame
old coleman cooler jug from the thrift store - just break off the handle

Works great, and no need for major cash layout. I might even get more media and make a dual setup.





Clamps are there to keep the tumbler container in the middle of the rods.
