steve_b_wales Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 I have a tumbler vibratory machine for cleaning/polishing my cases, and use corn cob media. (I think) I've mixed a bit of Brasso in with it to help polish the cases. I would like to try some stainless steel ball bearings, as I've been told that they are much better. Has anyone used these, and if so, where did you get them from? Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtaylor Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 Sorry didn't look at the quantity. I guess 100 wouldn't go very far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shotgun sam Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 I did not realise you could use the steel pins in a normal tumbler. You live and learn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted March 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 I did not realise you could use the steel pins in a normal tumbler. You live and learn. I made a mistake. It's a vibratory one I have, not a tumbler, so maybe ball bearings won't work in it (?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
