Pro Tips
- Start with a 15-20 minute cycle and check results before extending — over-tumbling can round edges on pieces that require sharp definition
- Use the lower speed settings for delicate pieces and higher speeds for heavier deburring work
- Fill the drum to about two-thirds capacity for best tumbling action — overfilling reduces media movement and polishing effectiveness
- Add a small amount of burnishing compound or dish soap to the water in the drum to improve surface finish quality
- Remove soft stones (pearls, opals, turquoise) before tumbling — the media can scratch or damage them
- Rinse and dry pieces thoroughly after tumbling to prevent water spots on polished surfaces
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between the KT-2000 and KT-6808?
A: The KT-2000 has a larger 5KG drum capacity and 60W motor, making it better suited for higher batch volumes and small production runs. The KT-6808 is a more compact 3KG model suited for occasional studio use and smaller batches.
Q: What polishing media does this machine use?
A: The machine comes with carbon steel polishing beads. It can also be used with stainless steel shot or other suitable polishing media depending on your finishing requirements.
Q: Can this machine produce a mirror finish?
A: Rotary tumbling is effective for deburring, surface smoothing and pre-polishing. For a high-gloss mirror finish, additional finishing steps such as hand polishing or bench polishing may be needed after tumbling.
Q: Can I use this with gemstone-set jewelry?
A: Use caution with stone-set pieces. Use lower speeds and shorter cycles. Remove soft stones such as pearls and opals before tumbling to avoid damage.
Q: What metals can this machine polish?
A: Suitable for gold, silver, copper, brass, zinc, aluminum, magnesium alloy and other non-ferrous metals. Results depend on material, polishing media and cycle settings.
Q: How long should I run the machine?
A: Typical cycles range from 15 to 45 minutes depending on material, part size and desired finish. Start with shorter cycles and adjust based on results.
