Tumblers: Lyman vs Frankford

[DRC458]

I found a replacement bowl for $11, about a week later.

Where did you find the replacement?

@adamsredlines check out the first review on Amazon where the guy installs the funnel upside down. I wonder if that would improve your cleaning results. https://www.amazon.com/Frankford-Arsenal-Quick-N-EZ-Vibratory-Polishing/dp/B001MYGLJC

After some reading about lead exposure, I’d be cautious about running the Lyman with the ventilated top in an area that doesn’t have good ventilation.

So for science I just sacrificed a little funnel. I had it running with less media before I took the video it changes the action for sure. This gets the brass moving more in a quicker action towards the inside and outside. Where the other way it seems like it just moves in a counter clockwise motion and slowly makes its way in and out.

Here is one with less media.

That is ingenious.

So that brass that was in there was already tumbled for 4 or 5 hours last night. Just for grins I ran it another couple hours with the funnel installed. I didn't notice it being any cleaner on the inside of the cases. The outside I compared to some stuff that was tumbled a week or two ago. Again didn't notice a big difference. I will have to see if I have some range brass to try with and without the funnel for equal times to see if there is any difference. I did notice the funnel is pretty dirty looking now.

Oh, yeah, that definitely changes the action. Excuse me while I go find a funnel I can sacrifice ...
