    Vibe or rotary? 

    Speaking from a lapidary perspective Thumlers is the best with
    Lortone coming in 2nd for tumblers under 20 lb capacity. I refer to
    myself as the rock tumbler crash test dummy because I'm always
    trying different things. Different manufacturers bowls on other
    manufactures motors. I drive my suppliers crazy asking if something
    will fit or not. I have a homemade rotary tumbler that tumbles 36 lbs
    of rocks at once. I'm now considering buying a used cement mixer and
    converting it into a mega tumbler. That's one thing I can call myself
    an expert on. Or the crazy old guy with the pony tail by the looks
    from my neighbors now that it's warm enough to wash out tumblers with
    the garden hose in the yard.
