Next step is to finish the design of the enclosure and the setup for adding and removing parts quickly.

LOL, and wheelbarrow ???
For loading with it, make a ramp on the other side!
:)
BTW, just in case you use this idea, if you even notice any of the workers missing in the shop, check the tumbler!

Noise level was not what I was expecting. I tumbled the parts for about 1 minute inside the shed without ear protection and its not much louder than my guys working.

Not quiet but bearable.

Also was not expecting the parts to be ready after one minute. Ill play around with the next couple of batches and record my results.

Yeah my guys will be happy. Saves chipping the dross off with a chisel. I get nearly 400 of those cleats to a sheet. They all cleaned up so easily. Very Very Happy with the results.
