[Jewelry making - Article 00173] - [Orchid] Product Query: Magnetic Tumblers

    I have, I'm putting together my wish list for the items I don't have
    yet for my studio (I finally got rental space -- Yay!), and one of
    them is a tumbler. 

    School == Rotary with mix steel shot media Recommendations ==
    Vibratory with steel 

    Magnetic Tumblers are fairly new to those around here, once they have
    something that works for them there is little desire to buy a new
    tool that may equate to a toy for them. 

    Rarely have I tumbled, most of what I created in school had lots of
    flat surfaces and the instructor wanted mirror finish, he was
    addicted to it :) Hence little opportunity to explore tumbling. 

    If I can get some advice from those with experience in these products
    and maybe also as to when is best to tumble a piece and when is best
    to use the polishing machine. 

Kindest,
