[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 853538, member: 39764"] I didn't say that. What I said was if you have dry tumbling equipment [U]in the first place[/U], wet tumbling with STM is an entirely different matter and you know that as well as I do. Dry equipment don't work with wet media unless it was a drum tumbler in the first place. So you get an ocassional piece of cob in a flash hole. No biggie. If STM was the Holy Grail of tumbling, thats all there would be. It isn't. A piece of cob in a flash hole is better than watching your STM go down the drain because you got a bit overzealous washing the brass... Wet or dry, I start the machine and let it go all night. It's in the shop, I'm in the house. You can still send me your vibrating tumblers, I use them to polish parts..... Nothing more and nothing less. The OP asked for some advice. I gave mine and you gave yours. Just pointing out the positives and negatives of both methods. Depending on what he reloads, he might be better off investing in an annealer and get the STM later on, but thats another subject. [/QUOTE]
