Yes, one can do without tumblers, ultrasonic cleaners and other power
tools, but if you are an one person operation who does everything
from production jewelry, jewelry repair, flatware and small garden
sculptures and teaches jewelrymaking, I find having a tumbler and
ultrasonic cleaner invaluable. Due to allergies to buffing in
general, I found mass tumble finishing works best for 90% of my work.
With all the rings I make and repair, an ultrasonic cleaner is superb
for getting jewelry really clean. In the absence of an ultrasonic
cleaner, Simple Green, a common household cleaner is really wonderful
for removing buffing compound and getting your fingers clean. As for
steam cleaners, I do lust for an industrial size one, but have one of
the little countertop steam cleaners ( $55 at that time) is great for
those once in a while jobs that needs a good steaming to get clean,
plus it travels well. There is one tool I can't do without is a small
belt sander makes life so much easier in the filing dept. However, my
belt sander died last week, so I have to get a new one fast. One last
tip, the 3M deburring wheels are perfect for emerying metal.
