Tumbling Tumbler

Note to self: Next time run the vibrating case cleaner on the floor because it will end up there anyway. Maybe putting 11 coats of gloss varnish on the reloading bench wasn't a good idea.

It was real fun when it vibrated itself off the bench and crashed at about 2 AM this morning. Fortunately we didn't get attacked by underground ....god damn monsters:

My tumbler sits on a piece of non-skid shelf lining vinyl that I pick up at Wal-Mart in a poll. It stops the unit from walking across the bench.

My Dillon CV-500 Vibratory Case Cleaner has rubber feet on the bottom. I set it up on a lamp timer to run for several hours at a time. It's never moved an inch.

I'll just keep mine running on the basement floor, it seems to make less noise that way also. I've been cleaning a couple thousand rifle casings, 12 hour per shift.

Be a little careful with these timers. In particular, some, particularly those that involve remote controls, allow a small amount of current to trickle through the circuit in order to permit the remote signal to be received without separate access to the neutral wire. When used with a motor, this current will burn out the windings.

RKG,
This is the lamp timer I use:

Do you think I need to be concerned with any of the cautions you mentioned?

I've been using this timer with the case cleaner for about ten years. Would any of the problems you mentioned have manifested themselves by now?

Live Free, Andy

I use the same timer. But after having it fail to shut off once I put in a couple extra red tabs. I don't use any green ones because I don't want it to turn back on again.

If you put a plastic straw over the center rod it's not as noisy..
