Super Mini Magnetic Polishing Unit

Additional Photos:

This tumbler comes with the right amount of 0.5mm pins for the ideal finish on metal clay creations and other detailed pieces that can benefit from polishing into the tiniest places! This single speed unit has a small footprint to fit in anywhere. It usually only take 15 minutes to do what rotary tumblers take twice as long to accomplish and not nearly as precise. A trick of the trade…keep a small magnet handy - when you remove the container put the magnet on the bottom and it will hold the pins in place while you rinse and dump the water to recover the finished pieces. It is easy to fish out your finished pieces as they are immediately visible. Unit dimensions are 4"W x 4" D x 9" H. The bowl dimensions are 2.75" diameter x 2.75" high.

More Information

This tumbler is the Cadillac of tumbling. It does have a higher price tag than a traditional rotary tumbler, but the pros that use it say they wouldn't use anything else other than a magnetic pin tumbler!

Tiny pins that are a mere 0.5mm in diameter are able to get into cracks and crannies that traditional rotary tumblers simply cannot access.

The clear container remains stable on top of the machine - it doesn't move. Inside the base of the unit is a spinning set of magnets. The pins up in the clear container resting in water - they follow the magnets, making them fly around inside the water. Your creations won't be moving as fast as the pins, therefore the pins collide with the pieces making microscopic "hits" on them thus "polishing" the surface.

Notes from a Pin "Tumblerologist"
One of the great things about a pin tumbler is how fast they can work. Typically, you can run it for 10 minutes on the average piece. However, I strongly suggest you try shorter times, as short as 5 minutes to see the effect you get because polishing can be a matter of how MUCH you polish to get a desired effect. All you can get isn't always the best look! The other extreme would be 20 minutes but you may find there isn't much difference in that and 10 minutes in most cases. Suggestion... Put a piece in and check it every 5 minutes and that will benchmark the effect you get. Keep in mind that the starting condition of the piece will dictate the time it takes to polish a piece.
