yea, it's a beast. takes two men and a boy to set in place when fully loaded with brass, pins, n water.
But I have a smaller 5" tube for smaller loads. Been thinking about making a much shorter 8" tube because the 5" tube turns a little fast. I drive it with an old Kenmore washer motor and have it wired for two speeds but I'm still geared a bit fast for the 5 incher. 8" = 36/53 RPMs, 5" = 47/72 RPMs.
I use a good bit more than a drop or two of dawn. If I don't have some suds left after tumbling I don't feel like I cut all the grime. Trial and error...
