Hey guys,
Anyone have any recommendations for quiet vibratory finishers? I currently have a C&M Topline 3 cu ft unit that works great, but even with an enclosure built around it still makes a lot of noise. This wasn't nearly as much of an issue in my previous industrial unit, but I think the slab in this new building moves a lot more as you can feel the tumbler through the floor and walls at least 30' away! It hasn't happened yet but I'm definitely anticipating noise complaints from the neighbours and I hate being in my shop with the unit running as it shakes everything...
I have already had one recommendation of the 'Burr Bench' units which actually look really nice, but I was wondering if anyone with experience of this type of machine has other recommendations?
I'll be running ceramic media and max part size is 12x2x0.156" so I don't need a huge unit but the really small 'donut bowl' shaped units will not work for me unfortunately. I did talk to a vendor about some rotary tumbler units but they steered me away from that as I'm finishing 63HRC A2 parts and they said I would need 2-3 days minimum to get the deburring/finishing that I expect. Currently I'm only running for about 2-3 hours for each part in my vibratory tumbler.
Thanks!
