    "Magnetic Tumbling" is a well known process where fine steel "shots"
    or beads of steel are put into a hard plastic container. All of the
    new castings are placed into this receptacle, and again, placed on a
    flat plate. With the aid of the steel shots are added cleaning
    solutions that 'aid' the tumbling and cleaning process. UNDER and in
    this 'Flat plate' is a strong magnet that revolves around in a
    circle. The strong magnetic 'attracts' the steel shots, and tumbles
    the rings and other items with the steel shots over and over again.
    This tumbling action IN THE PLASTIC container will give a satisfactory
    shine to he new castings. Many new casting companies supply this
    service as an added bonus to its customers. Also, many jewelry
    companies have elected to use this method prior to the delicate
    pre-polishing and finishing. 

    The rotary tumbling action in a overnight process took literally
    overnight. But this 'almost' new process takes only 1/2 hour
    maximum!!!! Rotary tumbling creates a waste of time, waste of
    electricity, but it still does not compare to the 'magnetic tumbling'
    process of today. This new method will allow steady watching to its
    completion, by the administrator, all during this tumbling process.
    Have I cleared the air on this topic? Gerry Lewy!..:>)
