Tumbling

A better way of polishing stones is to use a TUMBLING MACHINE; these are small electrical units, using silicon carbide grit as mentioned above. Rough stones, of equal hardness, are put in a barrel with water and grit and the barrel is slowly rotated. The resulting rolling of the stones over each other, with abrasive grit between them, causes a smoothing and rounding action over a 2-4 week period. Barrelling, for a further week, with a polish powder and water, produces a gleaming long lasting shine on most stones.Owing to the relatively low levels of cost and skill required for tumble-polishing it still remains the most popular way of beginning to learn stone polishing and is suitable for anyone from the age of about eight upwards.Machinery purchased to do this does not become obsolete when a grinder/polisher is obtained at a later stage, as offcuts from individual stones can always be utilised in a tumbler, so there is no waste.

SPIRATOR VIBRO Large (No Bowl)

Ref: 10-084

For some years now, commercial polishing of small quantities of stone has been undertaken with vibratory hopper machines owing to the shorter operating cycle of 5-6 days instead of 4-5 weeks.

Bowl capacity is 3.5litres and will handle about 4.5Kgs
MOTOR: 220/230 volt fan-cooled with eccentric weight countered by 4 rubber mount spiral springs.
BASE: Steel fabrication with integral switch and 2 metre earthed mains cable.
English instructions included.
N.B. Best results for stone polishing are achieved when the coarse grind stage is completed in a rotating tumbler.
