    My suggestion is save your money and purchase a tumbler designed for
    the purpose you are using it for.  For the cost of some gears and
    the machining required to make them work, you can get a couple of
    very good Loretone tumblers that will last a life time. 

    Spend your money and time on something that will give you a return.
