How to use a Rock Tumbler (Stone Tumbler) – part 2

This guide covers how to use any rotary Rock tumbler (stone polisher). Our video will guide you step by step through the process giving hints and tips. In this video we use an Evans machine, but a Beach, or alternative brand will still work the same. Full instructions in our full colour booklet can be downloaded from rocktumble.com

The process of tumbling rocks into tumblestones follows three main stages. A coarse grade stage, fine grade stage and then a polishing stage. Step by step we show you how the process works and the results to expect. The hobby of stone tumbling (Lapidary) is very popular and many people make and sell their own jewellery, stones and artwork.
