A while back my Lyman tumbler strikes, couldnt be repaired. Two obtions buy a new one to expensive. Or make me a new one. It took me a week for thinking and collecting components. What came out you can see at the pics. Components are a piece of drainpipe I already had, some stuff from the local hardware store and a old engine from a stencilmachine. Its variable in rotation speed. It can contain 120 pcs 308 cases and about 100 .45 cases. The result amazes me. Nice an shiny. Media combo wallnutshell and rice. Works perfect. All in all, cost of this projekt about 12 Euro and two beer Attachments:

Ken : he probably glued them ! Actually if you look closely I think his drive shaft is a piece of threaded rod which probably extends through the opposite end and allows a nut to hold the cap on. Just an assumption!

Just an assumption! Hello Bob; Yes, I see. I can see how there may be a gasket for the caps. I am having difficulty seeing how one can make a good seal for the shaft however. |

Herman,
You have inspired me to try to make my own. I have on hand an old ceiling fan motor that I could be put to use for this. I have to see what else I can scrounge for to achieve this goal. Herman you have my rusty gears clanking together.

He may have or could use neopreme and metal washers at each end,inside and outside. |

I also see that the pics are not a good quality. Wil take new ones so i can explain what I did.
But please give me a day or two.
