FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: What size rocks should be used in a tumbler?
A: We suggest you put rocks mixtures of anymore between 1 to 1.25
inches, the maximum size of the stone should not exceed 1.5 inches.
Moreover, we do not recommend tumbling any medium that is less than
1/4" in thickness/length.There are two basic rules that you should follow
about the sizes of rocks that you load into your rock tumbler:
1)Load the barrel with a mixture of rock sizes.
2)Tumble rocks no larger than about 1/2 the barrel diameter.
The first rule is one that everyone should follow, The second is for people

will hinder your final polish results.
Q: What is the ceramic tumbling media used for? How much do l use?
