    I switched to stainless steel pin wet cleaning and wow it will clean and shine the inside/outside of the pistol brass very well plus primer pocket if you deprive ahead of cleaning.. Which is another alternative to vibratory cleaning (used it for 40 years and did work). A bit more steps to the wet cleaning and company’s have further added products to help separating the pins. My wet stainless tumbler is from Frankfort Arsenal, which came with grills to help pour the water and pins from the brass. Lyman then came out with a mesh rectanglar basket (2 Piece) which helped. Later Frankfort Arsenal came out with a circular mesh replace the grills in the top of the cap’s and allows you to rinse.both pins and brass of the ‘dirty water’. Because of surface tension of the wet stainless steel pins to ‘everything’, I take my rotary brass separator, place some water in bottom to cover the rotating sifter and the pins will fall to the bottom as you turn the rotating handle. Now that surface tension is sticky and not all pins will come loose but get 95+% of them. I then bought a food dehydrator. Place them on the trays turn it on and in most case 1-1.5 hours they are dry and any remaining pins will fall to the bottom. I do recommend the pin magnetic from Frankfort Arsenal in which it has a handle with lever to move the magnetic from the metal part on bottom holding the pins, when picking any loose pins (small and difficult to pick up by hand, thus the magnetic pick up tool). Well that is my thought and 2 cents, lots of different methods out there to consider for cleaning fired brass for reloading. Good luck everyone!

    I'm normally really obsessed with odd tools, but this one seems like it has no real practical value whatsoever. I've been watching a series on how a woman is building one of these, on her channel, "Blondihacks." I'm curious to see if she actually uses her machine after making it. I've never heard or seen a die filer until today, so it's obviously a very rare and odd tool. It seems that a precision belt sander with a fine belt on it, would be a far better tool for 99% of things. I am curious if there is actually a need for one of these, instead of a hand file?

    I get my walnut media at the pet store. Last time I needed some I got three twenty pound bags of lizard litter in a buy one get 2 free sale. I filled three 6 gallon buckets and 2 midway tumblers and a lyman 2400. I run at least 2 of them every week. The more brass in a tumbler the better, without overloading the springs. The brass push each other against the media cleaning them faster. Just a few pieces of brass in a tumbler takes forever to clean.

    I used to take apart computers for the gold and along he way I saved all p[arts and nuts and bolts from them. I ended up with these little hex style bolts by the thousands and had no use for them later on. I kept them anyway and I got myself a tumbler and started watching rock tumbling videos with those nasty little pins you speak of. I thought why not use those little hex bolts about 3/8" long? I tossed them in with a bit of walnut shell to absorb the grease on my tools I was cleaning. The rest was those little hex bolts and dang did they clean my tools and sockets beautifully! A dampened the walnut shell just slightly with water and that was all. I had new sockets, bolts, washers, you name it they were clean! Now I need to get one of those tumbler things you have there to separate the walnut from my parts into that tub. That's nice. I was using a stainless steel strainer over a bucket wearing a mask and still sucked!

    I use corn cob, about 1/4 inch, from pet supply dept. of Walmart or Petco. I use about one ounce of mineral spirits and a about one ounce of Dillon or Turtle Wax or other liquid car wax with abrasives, even Midway Citrus Brass Cleaner. I also stick in two dryer sheets, cut in 2" squares, appx.... The sheets absorb all of the powder fouling, and the bottom of the bowl is virtually dust-free. Mineral Spirits wet the dryer sheets, so they can absorb the dust. I don't like "Wet Tumbling" too much effort. The primer pockets can be brushed out with a power drill in 5 seconds each and there's no drying, or pins getting stuck in the cases...

  • @leehaelters6182
    @leehaelters6182 Před rokem

    I am a little surprised that you began the balancing with three weights. I thought that the correct procedure is to start with two. This is my take on the procedure: first, check balance with no weights, and mark top dead center and bottom dead center. TDC is the light side, so place two weights on either side of the mark, equidistantly. If TDC and BDC swap positions, it is a matter of moving the weights away from each other, still equidistantly from theTDC mark, until balance is achieved. If two weights are not enough to overcome initial imbalance, add a third at TDC. Although, as I think this through, beginning with all three weights at TDC could still work, and save the trouble and time of adding the third later. Ok, my mistake.

  • @dpeter6396
    @dpeter6396 Před rokem

    It looks to me like the bearing in the balancing stand is very sticky from the way the wheel stops moving suddenly. Until that is fixed you won't be able to do any precise balancing. Too bad Oneway wants so much for their gadget!

  • @Gunners_Mate_Guns
    @Gunners_Mate_Guns Před 2 lety

    Thank you for debunking all the people flocking to rotary/stainless steel pins. btw...there are some ways to minimize the dust so that you don't have to resort to liquids as part of your tumbling process. 1) Drop two or three used dryer sheets into your tumbler with your brass each time. 2) Always leave the lid on while your tumbler is running. 3) Wait a minute before taking the lid off of the tumbler once the tumble process stops. 4) Use a brass separator that has a lid, as my RCBS separator has, close it while spinning out the media, then wait two or three minutes before opening the lid and taking out the brass. I have no problems with excessive dust at all with these very simple steps. I just don't see the value of introducing the complications and time constraints of liquids in the process.
