    I'm looking to buy my first tumbler for very small scale production
    (10 rings, 5 stampings)  in sterling silver jewelry.  I've done some
    research and it sounds like a vibrating tumbler  that allows wet
    media is my best bet.  I would like to be able to use it mostly for
    burnishing with steel shot but also be able to cut down castings and
    test out some other applications of the machine. I am working with
    lots of rings but also with 26 - 28 ga sheet 1"-2" square cut outs. 
    I'm also worried about noise because my studio space is small and I
    would be sleeping near the machine or working all day even closer to
    the machine. 

    I still have some questions that I can't find the answers to... Do
    you think that the vibrating tumblers are right for me? Will a
    tumbler create a problem for my 26-28 ga sheet cutouts? Am I going to
    have a problem dealing with the noise? Do you know of cheaper
    suppliers for vibrating tumblers besides Rio and Mettaliferous? 

Kerri
