The Lot-O Used To Be My Favorite Tumbler. It's Not Now. See Description Below.

The old description of this video is below. I have heard so many stories about how quickly the motors on this tumbler die and how horrible the customer service is, that I can no longer recommend it. I don't have a recommendation for a different vibratory tumbler because this is the only one I have ever used. Both of mine are still running, but I think it's only a matter of time before their motors give out. There is some really good information about possible replacement motors discussed here: https://forum.rocktumblinghobby.com/t...

Old Description:
I have been using a Lot-O tumbler for over ten years. This is what I think of it. I'll also show you how I use it. If you need information about the difference between rotary and vibratory tumblers, check out this video:    • Should You Buy a Rotary or Vibratory ...  

Since making this video, I have heard more and more stories about the motors failing after just a few months. Please be aware that the quality of the motors in the more recent machines seems to be much lower than it was with my original Lot-O.

– KINGSLEY NORTH –
Kingsley North is a lapidary store in Michigan's U.P. They make a great cab machine and sell many other brands too. They have a huge selection rough rock, tumblers, grit, jewelry supplies etc. at good prices. I buy most of my coarse grit from here in 45 lb. bags. It's the best price I have found. If you buy using the following link, I make a small commission.

I buy a lot of lapidary supplies from The Rock Shed. I don't make money from your purchases there, but they have good prices and good service. This is where I buy my finer grits and polish.
