Vibratory Tumbler Use and Results vs Rotary

Good Day,

We have 2 quite old Gy-Roc Vibrahone vibratory tumblers in our Club. I have found no instructions regarding how much liquid to use - fill below surface, fill at surface, or fill 1/4-1/2 inch above surface of shot plus pieces. Oddly, it’s quite a controversy as at / below surface are the current instructions. At this point, the units are quite old - and may fail, requiring replacement.

1 - What do other vibratory tumblers recommend or persons use for fluid levels?

2 - As compared to rotary & magnetic tumblers - do you find one better than the other?

Thanks everyone,
Dennis

I usually add water and tumbling fluid until I can just see it through the top layer of shot. You could call call Rio, and ask them what to do…Rob
