    After seeing a girl I work with bend her thumb completely back while
    polishing a large chain, I purchased a tumbler with stainless steel
    shot. Now all my chain repairs go right into the tumbler.  It does a
    much better job of polishing then anything else.  And it hardens it. 
    I use it all day long on all those tiny repairs that are hard to
    polish.  I don't have to breath those nasty compounds and my hands
    are not in danger of a slinging chain.  Of course I still have to use
    the buffer on ring sizings and a few other things, but a large
    portion of my polishing is now done with the tumbler. I have even
    managed to pay for the tumbler by charging $5. to polish those large
    figero sterling and 10k chains. It's absolutely a must in my shop
    now.  You have to get used to the noise, but when you realize the
    work it saves you, the noise becomes your friend.
