Here's something every well equiped shop should have, a parts tumbler: 
Put your rusty parts in the media, turn the tumbler on, and come back later and pick up your nice clean shiny parts. I want to make one, though, instead of buying one. ------------------

I've been thinking of the same thing myself.
Check out sportsmansguide.com I have their
last catalog and what looks like the same thing as Eastwoods. Was on sale for $59.97.
If I don't buy theirs I can go to the local sporting goods store and get a deluxe model for about $80.00, so check that out also.Tim

How about this for low-buck:I'm going to try filling a coffee can with bead blasting media, strapping it onto my air compressor and seeing how that works. That way you can tumble your parts while you work. ------------------

Steve - Your coffee can will work but wear ear plugs and tape the lid on very well. I had a friend that built a tumbler out of 1X pine boards in an octagonal shape, used a small elecric motor and uncooked rice as a media. Ammunition reloaders have been using tumblers for years to clean brass. You may be able to find them used locally.

You guy's are guilty of inspiring a plan. My mom uses one of them electric up and down beds and her old one wore out the up an down part. She got a new bed and I robbed the vibrators out of her old bed. So the plan is to get a metal box to attach the vibrators to and put a plastic box/pan in it for the media. What do you think is the best general cleaning media? I have a buddy that runs a coating and polishing place and he has a serious vibrating deal that polishes parts after ceramic coating. He uses what appears to be plastic balls of various sizes (the largest being 1/4") and soapy water. I thought I'd just try that stuff until he told me it's $60 for 15lbs. I don't like sand cause it leaves grit on parts and has to be washed very thoroughly like in a dishwasher. The grit won't do the dishwasher any good so I'd like to find a better thing like, rice or nut shells? Those expensive plastic pellets last quite awhile so they could be what to do, he tells me an old bolt will come out looking like chrome in fifteen minutes with his multi dollar shaker. With the time it'll take to get this thing to work I could wire wheel 10,000 bolts  .

well after reading this I went and pulled out my reloading tumbler and decided to see how well it would work with bolts. I used sand blasting media. I worked very well, took about three hours before everything was nice and clean.just thought you would like to know. later

Hey guys, being an avid shooter as well as mustang nut I can tell you about my tumbler, it's a Dillon Pecision unit and has a heavy duty motor plus a lifetime guarantee,they installed a new motor in mine recently for no charge, Don't try to polish carb bodies in it though, I ruined a good 4100 by trying that, looks good but media keeps appearring fron out of orifices.Check out www.dillonprecision.com------------------

I have the CV-500, it is bigger than you think, the CV2000 is very large and would work even better on larger pieces, Eastwood sells rust cutting media as well as polishing media. I highly recommend the Dillon products, they are top quality with a warranty that is unmatched by anyone.------------------

About 90% of my tumbling is for cleaning the empty brass before reloading bullets, for that I use corn cob media (Dillon), I have used some Eastwood Rust cutter media with good results on bolts and small parts.
Whatever you do , DON'T clean carburetors in it, they come out looking new, but you will never get the media out of the orifices. (The voice of experience here, one ruined 4100 carb). At one time the tumbler ran 24 hours a day for two weeks, cleaned 25,000 pieces of brass 1000 at a time, 6 hours per batch.

Just try to wear it out, you can't do it, a friend has the CV2000 and uses it for rock tumbling/polishing, took him 7 years to wear out the motor, he sent it to dillon and they replaced the motor and the tub at no charge.
All of my reloading equipment is dillon, their reputation for warranty and service is unmatched anywhere. ------------------

Hmmm, they must have changed their policy because clicking on the above provided link, the website states they have only a one year warranty now. Stewart

One year warranty is new to me, I'll check my next issue of the Blue Press (their monthly magazine) and let you know.
In the past they have even sent me parts for my press that I lost at no charge, they are great.

CC, what do you use for media in yours? The manual for the thing specifies ground corn or walnut shells, but I don't think those will get me very far with rusty bolts.Do you run black beauty in yours? ------------------

Corn cob won't do much for rust, polished rust is still rust
Walnut is used for very dirty brass, corn cob is used to polish brass or other soft metals,a little Brasso or Dillon liquid polish makes them shine like new, the Eastwood medias are good for rust and hard metal. If you clean a lot of little parts you may want to pickup a media separator, they work very well also.

I used it dry, didn't know it was supposed to be wet, I was given the leftovers from someone elses batch, so no "dumbrections" were with it, I let it run for several hours, seems to work fine, would probably work better wet.

Subject: CV-500 << File: slariviere.vcf >> Hello,
I recently bought a CV-500 vibratory case cleaner, and I was reading the
manual and it specifies using ground corn cob or walnut shells for a
medium. I was planning on using black beauty media {silica slag} because
I wanted to use this unit to restore nuts and bolts in my car
restoration hobby. Will the bowl be ok with this? It seems like a rugged
unit and very similar to the tumbler Eastwood's sells. Thanks for your help,

No, I need to give it a try. It doesn't seem to have a lot of vibratory action, but we'll see. It seems more toy than tool, but maybe I'll be surprised.I wasn't too thrilled when I found after I got it that it needs a special abrasive and kerosine slurry. I asked the company if I could use black beauty in it and they answered "Duh, what's black beauty? Never heard of it. I dunno, I guess so. At the worst, you can buy a new basket if you ruin it." ------------------

Well, I've been using it and I've pretty much ruled it a toy/waste of money. I put some small brackets in and from what I've seen so far you'll get pretty old waiting for it to clean the parts off. It may be the black beauty I'm using. I might buy some of that rust-cutter grit Eastwood sells and see how that goes. ------------------

I've been using it every day now. It's ok. Bolts seem to take about 10 hours to go from rusty to bare. Forget about using it for brackets, that would take about 10 years from what I've seen.It's neat tossing the bolts in and then just setting it and forgetting it. It's a great tool for your friend to own.
