can you use this with brass not totally dry from a sonic cleaner

I've never tried it but I don't recommend it. It will most likely make the media clump. The tumbler does a good job of cleaning without a sonic/wet cleaner needed.

I can verify the brass does not have to be completely dry when using walnut media. I use an ultra sonic cleaner to clean the brass and a tumbler to polish. I usually just put the brass in a towel and shake it a few times to get a lot of the moisture off and then dump it in. I've seen no issues.

I often put really dirty brass in a mesh bag and throw it in the laundry with some old towels. But I make sure it's dry before I put it into the tumbler. I suppose it wouldn't have to be completely dry though. It sure wouldn't hurt to try.

I feel that you can. I use it to keep the pitch up on my piano, but I am sure it would work for brass also. I am an old band director and I wish I had this before I retired.

Depending on how big the pieces are you're cleaning, it could work with the proper media. Like stated, put the unit in the garage, it is a tad noisey. I've tumbled probably 2000 + brass with this tumbled already, no issues so far.

The damp sponge plate is square and the brass tip cleaner is round so not really interchangeable. That said, I just keep the brass tip cleaner on my bench top right next to the soldering station. It takes up very little space and works really well at cleaning the tip without cooling it down too much. Hope this helps.

Yes it would. I have brass also but don't notice the difference. I love it!

Are you asking if I have used this to clean brass? The answer is no. There are cleaners specially made to clean brass. I suggest you try one of them.

I use my sonic jewelry cleaner. But each time I use the brush, I make sure it is rinsed thoroughly and spin it dry.

I have only used it on very bright, well cleaned brass, and it worked very well. Just make sure the copper is very clean and that it has not been previously coated with anything.

This RCBS ultrasonic cleaner works for all types of precious metals, it cleans jewelry flawlessly and will have it looking new again. It does a wonderful job cleaning brass as well!!

I didn't use,it on brass or copper but it works very well on silver. The label doese't say anything about brass or copper. Thanks,Jimmy

if you are talking about the Brass to the black metal, that should be ok. Test with a small flow, and I think you will see that is ok.

I have NOT used it for outdoors but it does work very well on brass in my bathroom.

If you want shiny/new brass then tumble them. I always do along with just a bit of polish and the brass comes out looking like new, even on 10 times reloaded brass.

I just use it for brass cleaning. Only needs about 4 or 5 hours for that but I usually turn it on before bed then turn it off when I get up in the morning.

I don't have any experience with brass, but I would think there would be none. Silicone is very inert and does not react with other materials as far as I know. Hope that helps.

somewhat...it depends on how much "Gunk" is in there....sometimes I clean the brass before decapping then clean the hole with a Q-tip.....

Yes, Ultrasonic cleaners are great for handguns, dental/tattoo machines. Almost anything that is made of metal.
