I'll be tumbling and polishing drift seeds, sea beans and sea hearts with this so we can make some jewelry with it, sounds like it will be perfect.

I hope that you enjoy the tumbler. I purchased mine a month ago (?). I have been using my tumbler to polish silver, steel, and copper jewelry that I make. I have been using stainless steel shot, water, and a bit of dishwashing liquid. I have only been using one of the barrels so far.

I am not a master at tumbling, but I would think small pieces of glass (think small rock size) will work good. I would think you would need to run with the fine grit a little longer than normal.

It's not going to grind a *chunk.* I would suggest putting the chunk in a thick plastic bag, take it outside and hit it with a hammer until it is fairly well ground up. Then put it in the mill. I grind coarse ground Celtic Sea Salt in it with no problems whatsoever. It does a great job.

Yes this will be perfect. I love this product because you can see the dog for a block.

Not like opals but for diamonds, sapphire, rubies, etc. will be fine. Cleans real nice

It should. I shelled two bushel of October beans yesterday and have shell many bushel of purple hull peas and brown Crowder

I use it to make jewelry and love it. I like the pistol grip handle which makes it easy to use. It is just as quite as any rotary tool

Yes it will, Once you play around with it and practice a little you can fix about anything plastic and make it look good.

I have not tried this but based on the look of the cutter, I have a hunch it might do alright.

It would seem this would be very good for that. It makes a clean small round hole.

It would be perfect for that use. I have them to be sturdy and well formed.

Yes. Saves a lot of digging time in the sand. If you get a few charts of the beach you visit, you can find the eddies. The are the hot spots where rings and other jewelry get washed up at. Gold is 50 times heavier than water and will roll with the tide. You need to find the low spots where the items can not roll up and over. If you have the Garrett Pro or Gold you can go in to up to 12 feet of water, getting to places other beach combers can not go!Scott

Yes, beautifully. This is my second one, and makes all jewelery very clean and sparkly.

I will use it this Friday to try to remove a front hub bearing - I will use it in conjunction with a slide hammer. Hopefully it will not break.

Although I haven't used it for my beading supplies, it appears that it would be great! I'm a porcelain artist teacher, and I use it for transporting those supplies. I LOVE it! I also do bead work, and would not hesitate to use it for that.

The back of the jar suggests the product be used on diamonds, precious stones, platinum and gold. I would suggest using a sterling silver cleaner for the band and vinegar and water for the glass part.
