Thread: Case tumbler

Get a media separator like this :
Frankford Rotary Separator Kit

Fill the bucket with water, empty the tumbler contents into the separator and rotate a few times, all the pins fall to the bottom. The tip out 95% of the water from the bucket, then tip the bucket which has got all the pins in it back into the tumbler. You'll be able to count on one hand the number of pins you lose, if you do it this way

If the linked Frankfort one includes the bucket that is the way to go. After my first clean with SS pins I tried to use a magnet to pick up the little critters. Still was finding them days later everywhere. Brought in just the FA rotary bit, no bucket, and then had a hell of a job finding a suitable bucket. Adapted an old paint bucket (NZ plastic buckets seem different to Yankee ones) and now all good as per your procedure. Should have just bought the complete bloody thing in one go instead of trying to save money
