[QUOTE="quigley257, post: 2569722, member: 84442"] After reading through these posts, I see there is confusion on what different people call a tumbler. Stainless pins and chips will only work in a rotary style tumbler(I use a Lyman Cyclone) using water, lemishine, or Dawn as a cleaner. Walnut, corn cob and rice should be used in a vibratory tumbler as dry media with metal polish as an additive. I do a combination of the two. Really dirty brass gets stainless wet tumbled, then rinsed. I then finish it in a vibratory tumbler using corn cob with NuFinish car polish. The stainless tumbling removes all the carbon and dirt while the corn cob/NuFinish gives a nice shine while adding a protective layer that prevents tarnishing. The Hornady media sifter works fantastic for separating stainless chips from wet cases as well as dry media from dry cases. Good luck!
