I have a Dillon Case cleaner - the 500 count model.

Can I leave it running all day without worrying about a melt down?

I have run it for 3 - 4 hours at a time without trouble and today, I went in to work at 10am and turned it on. I will be home at 7pm, but I could go home at lunch and turn it off if I should.

Can anyone think of something bad that could happen by leaving it on all day? - I suppose it could overheat and catch fire, but that seems pretty far fetched - and I put it on a tile floor that is not too close to anythign flamable

Am I crazy? Should I go to sushi for lunch with my friends ro should I run home and turn that thing off?

Also - how many hours should you use walnut media for? Does it get dull after maybe 8-10 hours of use? Or is it much longer?
