This is a tumbler that I made for the purpose of tumbling some of our smaller metal items to get the slag off of them from the initial cutting. I put things like nuts, bolts and scrap little pieces of metal in the tumbler. These things work to knock off slag and smooth the edges of the pieces a bit. The propane tank used to belong to my wife's grandfather. I wound up with it over 30 years later! The tumbler is powered by a drill that I attached to it with a pulley system. It is a noisy operation, but it works well for what I need.
Hello,
ReplyDeleteI like your idea. Does the shaft of the tumbler/propane tank go all the way through or is it only connected at the ends? If so can you send me some close up shots of how the axle is connected to the tank? email me @ trisailingfla@gmail.com
