The motor in my tumbler (Lyman) is a small induction motor. No brushes, sparks or anything like that. It doesn't even have a switch. I put a splash of mineral spirits in mine without worry. I do leave it on the patio because of the noise so if it catches fire it won't hurt anything.

I don't use any waxes in mine because I just want clean. Slippery isn't a good thing with brass.
