Usage Guidelines
- Use water and polishing media only — do not use corrosive or acid-based liquids in the plexiglass barrel.
- Do not overfill the barrel — fill to recommended capacity for optimal tumbling action.
- Start with 30 minutes and adjust polishing time based on results.
- Use forward and reverse rotation alternately for more even polishing coverage.
- Rinse the barrel and machine after each polishing session.
- Ensure items are completely dry after polishing to prevent re-oxidation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What polishing media should I use?
Stainless steel shot is most commonly used for jewelry polishing. Ceramic or plastic media works for deburring and surface finishing. Media is not included — contact sales@tooltos.com for recommendations for your specific application.
How long does polishing typically take?
Typically 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on the condition of items and desired finish. Start with 30 minutes and adjust based on results. The timer supports up to 60 minutes per cycle, or continuous-on for longer sessions.
What is the difference between this and a vibratory tumbler?
A rotary tumbler rolls pieces end-over-end in a barrel, which is effective for tarnish removal and general polishing. A vibratory tumbler uses 3D vibration and is gentler on delicate jewelry pieces, with larger batch capacity. For larger batches or more delicate work, see the Tooltos vibratory tumbler range.
Can I use acid or chemical solutions in the barrel?
No. The plexiglass barrel is not compatible with corrosive or acid-based liquids. Use water and polishing media only.
Does it work worldwide?
Yes. The AC 100–240V universal power supply is compatible with both 110V and 220V outlets worldwide.
Is polishing media included?
No. Polishing media must be purchased separately based on your specific application.
