[Jewelry making - Article 00852] - [Orchid] Improving vortex action in vibratory tumbler?

[Carey Holman]

    I'm running stainless steel shot in a UltraVibe 10, and I'm having
    trouble getting the pieces to move properly. They go round-and-round
    with the shot, but they (and the shot itself) don't move toward the
    middle, then submerge, then appear again on the surface near the
    outside of the tumbler again like they should. They just sit there. 

    The only variables I can think of are 1) the amount of shot & pieces
    and, 2) the amount of liquid. Does anybody know what's proper to get
    the best action in the tumbler? 

Thanks -
Carey
