Bought a nice used tumbler, 16in bowl vibrating type. It came with a mix of small media in it and I am testing it out. I have found that a flat aluminum plate will not stay under the media but keeps trying to float or surf on top. I will take some photos and post them soon to show you this. The blocks that I put in seem to be doing better but I am not sure why the larger plate wont stay down.
In my small tumbler I have been using the plastic triangle media that I bought on ebay, not sure the brand but it seems to work fine. Could it be that the stones are too heavy for the lighter aluminum parts? Anyone know a tumbling guru out there? I know if I call a vendor they want to know what brand I am using and then want me to send them a sample part. But of course as a job shop I never know what kind of part I am doing next so any ideas from those of you who have experimented with different media will be useful.
