Anyone have a vibratory barrel tumbler?

I picked this up a few weeks ago and have spend a LOT of money on media getting set up lol. This is a 40 year old unit, 2.5 cubic feet with a 1hp motor.

Curious what everyone is using?

Nice looking. What was the blade state before tumbling ?

Mr. Deburr. Loud AF. Works very well. Using a media mix similar to yours.

It was sand blasted and acid washed, then I did a quick 400 grit grind on one side and 220 on the other. The tumbling pretty much fully removed the 400 grit lines but not the 220 (my flow through system was messed up though so it wasn't operating at full efficiency haha).

I wanted one of those for years but got this for $850 so couldn't pass it up... What coolant filter set up do you have on your mr deburr?

Running Kool Mist with a little giant pump. Not sure on the filter I'm still running the one it came with. I should probably replace it here at some point. Thanks for the reminder
