go the Tumbler - at least !
I have a "Graf" Tumber - which is a re badged Berry Tumbler.
There are a couple of others - like Lyman - and they all do the same job.
I have not used an ultrasonic cleaner - but I am interested in looking at one.
Hi Nino,
Yes a tumbler is on the way....it is a definate....The ultrasonic, not sure yet....
I have an ultrasonic cleaner and a tumbler.
Tumbler allows for bigger items to be cleaned. Problem with the ultrasonic is that you still need to use the correct medium and youll need to experiment to find what dissolves the dirt, sometimes hot water and detergent will do the trick, but if cleaning metal parts then the same base that is in metal polish is the go. A silversmith i know uses water and ammonia.
The tumbler is a purely mechanical action - personally, i much prefer this method
I've read that people use the water / ammonia mix for pinball metal parts as well....
I agree, and +1 with StuartT - this is what I was thinking re nifty soak too....I have not really had anything that bad that an over night nifty has not fixed....The tumbler would finish all off very nice.
Thanks for the advice guys!
