Magnetic Tumbler/Polisher Operation

 

A magnetic tumbler/polisher is a automatic polishing device used in the jewellery industry to polish rings and other metal items by a burnishing process. This gets into all the small hard to reach places. Where a Magnetic Tumbler/Polisher really shines, in our hobby is for people who make kits with a lot of white metal parts, while these can be cleaned up by hand it is a tedious and more importantly very dirty job for most of people. Just imagine just dropping all those tiny hard to hole on to parts into a bowl, and then 30 minutes later you have nice shiny parts without feeding the carpet monster!

 

Now let's see how it works.

If you want to try this , there are a few extras that you will need, burnishing fluid and the steel pins. The pins are available in a range of sizes from 0.2 up to a massive 0.5, all in a 5 mm length.

Firstly add some pins to the plastic bowl, put the bowl onto some scales and added 200g. When the bowl is placed onto the base you can see the strong magnets.

Some clients asked that what is the maximum and minimum height of burnishing fluid. Generally the fluid height is around 5 cm more or less. You will need put water and some scales of polishing agent.
