How much cleaning media is used in this tumbler?

Probably around 2 pounds or so. Fill 2/3 full before adding your cases. Got mine 2 days ago and ran it for a total of 6 hours today on 3 different sizes of brass. No Problems!

Less than a half gallon. You can buy cheap walnut husk media at pet stores--it's sold as hamster litter. Cheaper than buying it as tumbling media, and it's exactly the same stuff.

About 4-8 cups. I don't measure, just fill to 2/3 or so. I add a major drizzle of Frankford Arsenal Brass Polish to fresh media--it leaves a hard-shine that seems to make sizing pistol cases easier. Media tip..I buy Maizorb procewssed corn-cob media at a welding supply company $25 for 50 lbs. Each tumbler load lasts many times doing about 200 pistol cases per run, 4 hours + per run. Often I leave it on overnight.

I am afraid to use tumblers with dry media because of the potential health risks of dust being created. Yes I know it has a lid but when you take it out, you still breath it. But if I do get this will I need a separator?

There are 1/2 or so manufacturer's who make fluids for record cleaning machines. All are similar. Roy Hall is sending us a formula if you want to make your own. Plain tap water is not recommended. Dick Moulding Spearit Sound

We clean ours about every 2 weeks. Although we do use our own media so cleaning amounts may vary.

I found using Goof off does a really good job and doesn't damage the cup. You might also try polish remover, too.

About a half a gallon. I empty mine every two/three days into an outdoor compost tumbler.

almost none! the container that holds the used cups needs to be emptied and rinsed every few days. And the frother is non-stick, and a very easy clean-up after each use. There isn't the crusted on milk froth like you find on steamer wands because it uses a little whisk attachment inside the frother. I rinse it right away after I'm done with both my coffees in the morning -- that or I just put a little water in the frother to let it soak. It's never had a residue buildup.

The tumbler is 9"L x 5"H x 5" W. The cyclinder holds approx. 1.5 cups of material. Hope this helps.

Yes, definitely. You only use 4 tbs of coarse to medium grit, and 6 tbs of pre-polish and polish per each tumble. If I had to guess I'd say there is about a cup and a half of each grit. So you can get a few tumbles out of this set.

Fellow coin nut...I use an Ace-250. The cleaning media I use is corn-cob. About $23 for 50 lbs. at a welding/paint suppier. Takes a long time..I find 1 half pr decade so who cares?

I have two of these vacuum mugs (different sizes), one with each of the two coatings. Only had them a month, but I see no difference so far in terms of cleaning. I use them for water, tea, and protein drinks, and have had no issues with staining or cleaning. I do take apart the cover assembly weekly to make sure no crud buildup occurs there.

the tumbler is dissembled and easy to put together. Everything you see on the picture is all you get. Polishing media is a separate purchase. ( I bought a small container of walnut shells, as recommended on another website)

They recommend you don't keep the fluid in it for extended periods on time... So I drain mine after several uses... The solution is usually dirty by then anyway. I will say it doesn't get the primer pockets as clean as I want. Kind of wish I got a tumbler that uses media.

Estimate at least 500 tablets, could be more. I agree with other responses regarding number of cleaning events.

Thanks for your interest. The media is used inside many canister type filters. The best way to determine the amount used is to calculate the cubic feet of the sand inside your filter. The equal cubic feet of the tube media will be much lighter but I dont know how much to suggest without knowing the area.

110 volt/ac current. It is a nice compact tumbler. Can easily handle 100 pieces of brass. I just use corncob media in it and run it 2 to 3 hours. Good Luck !
