The most efficient finishing machines

We want to do some limited production work, mostly medium and larger
silver pieces, and are wondering which of all the finishing machines
is the most efficient for the money. We are off the grid and use a
generator for power, and want to pre finish as clean and fast as
possible.

Any comments on especially wonderful, or big waste of money units
will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you, Janis

Hello Janis,

If you don’t have Judy Hoch’s book on tumble finishing, hie thee to
the web and order it. Rio stocks it, and undoubtedly there are
others. Here’s Judy’s website:

I read it, cover to cover. Excellent instructions. I love, love, love
the stainless tumbling media and my ol’ HF rotary tumbler. Modest
investment for major time-savings!
