I believe I invested about $400 and SS will last a lifetime. Just replace belt and motor. Biggdawgtumbler is about $435 without shipping, not SS, and powder coat. I believe it's about $150 shipping due to weight and size.

I did 9 pounds with 12 pounds of SS 47 ultra pins in 6" drum. Wanted to do 8" but could not find short pipe and fitting. Should have done this a long time ago, way better than dry media. The first batch was clean with walnut for 3 hours, trim and lube. Then once I finished the wet tumbler. I place for 2 hours and water was super dirty. Rinsed and bling.
