    I ordered a vibratory tumbler from Midway, but I think I got the
    wrong one - it was $60.00 instead of $40.00, it was the least
    expensive one I could find on their website. (I probably didn't look
    far enough) Its a "RCBS". I think it is too big for what I want but
    before I send it back I have a couple of questions. 

    Do you use water and steel shot? and how much shot? and water? 

    Do you also use it dry? and if so what kind of media. 

    I think it would be hard to empty in order to retrieve the jewelry -
    how do you do it? Can you fish the jewelry out and then leave the
    shot and water in the machine? (for a while anyway). 

    I'm used to a small loritone tumbler - but I would like to have
    something that is faster. 

    I'd be thankful for any pointers anyone has.
