Tumbler Build - For cleaning plasma cut parts.

Well I think I need one. after cutting 2 sheets up like this. So many small parts I had to drain the water tray.

I built a tank for my machine so I can drain the water tray in about 10 mins and fill it back up again in about 6.

Nice, thank you.
Will have to build 2 of the vertical variety soon for tumbling wheel rims.

In my experience with the tumblers they recirculate the water and tumbling fluid.

It can get sludgy and make the parts stick together so there is a happy medium.

They have tumbling fluid, and a rust prevent additives as well.

the one we have at work recirculates the water and has additives mixed in the water. i think the additives are something along the lines of anti foaming and rust inhibitors. the water keeps the media cutting better as well.

I did not know they used wet systems for tumbling. Ill look into it.

I based my design on these dry tumblers,
