Tumbler media

Post by SteveM »

I picked up a vibratory tumbler.

I'd like to get an assortment of media for everything from cleaning/rust removal to polishing.

If I wanted to make a "starter kit" of media, what would I get?

Walnut shells seems to be the go-to for polishing.

Harbor Freight has triangular ceramic media for deburring and pyramid plastic resin for rust removal.

I see stainless steel pellets from some vendors.
