Lortone Model 3A Rock Tumbler
The Lortone Model 3A is a perfect rock tumbler for the beginner. It is easy-to-use,
inexpensive, and very durable. The metal frame, maintenance-free motor and heavy-duty rubber
barrel will operate reliably through years of regular use.
The Model 3A has a single three-pound rubber barrel. If you fill this barrel about 2/3 to 3/4
full of rock as recommended it will process about two pounds of rock. The soft rubber barrel will
tumble your stones with a minimum amount of noise. This tumbler makes about as much noise as
vigorously shaking a carton of orange juice that is about 1/2 full.
The tumbler is supplied with an instruction book that will guide you through tumbling your first
batch of rock. You will also receive an email address that you can use to ask any questions
that arise as you begin tumbling.
We want you to enjoy this hobby as much as we do.

For Best Polishing Results:
If you are really serious about getting a high quality polish we recommend getting a separate barrel and using it exclusively for the polishing step. A dedicated barrel for polish (and a thorough cleaning of your rocks after the 600 grit step) will help avoid grit contamination of your polishing step. |
