    I had bad luck using a vibratory tumbler.  Even though it claimed to
    work much fast than a rotary, I wasn't able to fill it with as much
    shot as I needed and could really only put small pieces in - and few
    at a time.  I'll admit that when I put in chain, it did work quickly,
    but the chain was lightweight and small and there was very little
    shot in the container.  Most of the time, however, I've been working
    on production-size orders.  Putting in pendants, rings, etc. just
    wasn't working.  I wasn't getting any movement with the stainless
    steel shot.  I know there are vibratory tumblers on the market that
    will move the amount of shot I need when working in high volumes, but
    they are extremely expensive.  I also like the work-hardening that
    the rotary provides.
