Thanks for the very informative video... we did attempt to use wheels but it was a different set-up that was working but isn't near as good as it could be... I believe that your fix will be extremely helpful... We had a lot of black powder going on from the lid scraping against the metal... I'm sure my husband will swap over to your method now... Thank you so very much for taking the time to do this video :)

My modification was to use some of the plastic furniture sliders with the low fiction coating. They come with adhesive back. Stuck two on each inside end of the tumbler where the would contact the edge of the top of the metal lids.

Now take the motor cover off so the motor runs cool and the trapped heat doesn’t dry out the permanently lubricated sintered bearings rhe motor shaft ride in.
