The only drawback is that they will wear out faster and you might wear out any round plastic container with a flat bottom
In the past, I've made pieces even larger than that with cubic zirconia without any problems.
When I am finished with a project, I rinse the shot and spread it out on a couple of paper towels to dry. I don't remember whether stainless steel and magnets rust, but things made from stainless steel and magnets will rust, slowly, but they will rust.
Almost any round plastic container with a flat bottom will work but may wear out more quickly
Selected User Reviews For BestEquip Tumbler 2000 RPM Finisher 7.3 inch Magnetic Polisher with Adjustable Speed for Jewelry (KT185)
My purchase of this magnetic pin finisher was made after I researched a number of brands, many of them more expensive. I looked at videos on YouTube to gain a better understanding of how these machines work. This machine was rated on line as one of the best at this pricepoint. In addition to the pins I purchased, I also found some reviews helpful. When I first received the machine (it just showed up on our porch like a big sack of potatoes), I immediately put it to the test. You will not find any instructions with this item. You should watch some videos on YouTube. Initially, I had to clean the pins (they were quite dirty and needed three or four coats of three-in-one polish You will need to burnish the machine with burnishing liquid and take one course of Dawn (without There is no need to add water to the barrel. There are just a few inches to go. It is important to add very little burnishing liquid or soap (a few drops) or you will end up with a mess to clean. I used a very fine strainer topped with a container underneath to catch any stray pins that fell out while I poured out the water. A few of them float on the top of the water, whereas most of them stick together in the barrel. Once my pins had been cleaned I tested the machine on a copper bracelet with a lot of elaborate In my example, I doubled it A bar on a screen Into the 30 minute setting on the machine, switch it on. A periodic reversal and stopping of the machine were the result. I am pleased with the way the bracelet turned out. It looks good, is somewhat shiny and clean. Although this did not look like a mirror, it was very As far as wire wrapped pieces are concerned, this machine should only be used for small items. Furthermore, it is much faster to clean than a tumbler (although I will still use my tumbler for my wire wrapped jewelry, larger items, or those that are more challenging to clean). A jeweler would be well served by this machine. Please be aware Because this machine will turn your wire wrapped jewelry into a porcupine and a mess, it is not suitable for wire wrapped jewelry finishing. There are a lot of tiny pins that will get stuck in the Many of them are so hard to break free that even a magnet cannot do it. One time only.
I like the pins it came with, they are quite small, so they don't This book is highly.
It is enormous. This required such a lot of housing that I didn't realize. It needs to have enough room on your bench. Since they say it ships from China, they don't accept returns. Make sure you are careful when purchasing!.
There are other brands sold by jewelry supply companies at a higher price, but this one costs 1/3 of that. There is a much larger bowl in this version than the more expensive one. The noise is a bit loud, but if you are a production jewellery maker, you have to live with it. It doesn't have speed control, so that's the only downside I can think of. The entry level jewelry brands often do not have timers. This one does, unlike many of them.
Mostly sterling silver jewelry is what I make. There is no better machine for polishing and it saves a lot of time over All you need to do is soldier your pieces, you can quench, pickle, and press them You can create a finished piece within 30 minutes. I appreciate it so much.
My experience with this machine has been good. It arrived faster than expected and the directions were complete, I read a lot of reviews, comments, and watched videos before I used it, so I knew what to expect. I have used it mostly for cast organics and have been satisfied.
My company has been in the jewelry business for more than 25 years, and this is the best tumbler I have ever used. Highly recommended. It has 2 speeds and a large cup size. You need to have it!.
Could have benefited from an instruction manual, and the ability to identify how high to fill the container with solution by markings on the side of the bowl.
