This tumbler is suitable for Metal Clay, Art Clay, PMC, Copper Clay and Bronze Clay, sterling silver, copper and bronze and consists of a high-quality British made barreling body and a 3lb plastic barrel with vanes. The vanes in the barrel help to move your pieces around, so they polish faster. This is the the easiest way to give your silver pieces a beautiful polished shine.
How to use your tumbler kit day-to-day:
A little note on polishing - this tumbler is designed to polish or burnish your pieces. If you use it with stainless steel shot and water it is not an abrasive - so it will not remove scratches. If you have any scratches you need to put in a little work and remove these by hand before you tumble polish. Tumbling for a long time might round off and smooth out the scratches slightly, but it will not remove them.
A couple of notes on maintenance - Every week, unplug the tumbler and put a drop of oil on the steel shaft of the roller where they pass through the bearing blocks. Every month, put a drop of oil on the motor shaft, where it protrudes through the side of the machine (use car grade oil for this).

After much research I bought this tumbler which to my delight turned out to be an Evans one! My one "problem" was the one hour struggle I had putting the well heated plastic lid back on.I opened the end without the label after the hot water treatment. Presumably this is the bottom.The barrel had obviously expanded at the same rate hence the struggle.Eventually that end went back on and after hot watering the other end it came off and went on again relatively easily. My fingers were now shriveled. The well prepared shott worked perfectly to give a fabulous shine to the copper clasp. I hope the rubber barrel which I have not used yet(it is only for silver) will be easier to open and close
These makes polishing silver and copper a breeze. Very easy to use,no mess,plug in and let it do its job.
Excellent little kit for getting into tumble polishing, gives a good finish. Easy to care for and clean and more importantly, there are spares available for the parts that will wear over time
