Rated 5/5 based on 3 reviews.269 units in stock
NEW STOCK JUST ARRIVED - Mark 2 version (March '24).
Aussie Sapphire is very proud to announce this new product to our range.
NOTE: this tumbler operates on 230 Volt power.
A lot of development work and thorough testing has gone into this tumbler to come up with an improvement over the existing options.
We are so confident in this machine we now offer a 2 year warranty on manufacturing faults (excludes consumables or damage from incorrect usage).
If you have been considering a Lortone 3A, this one is a great option with one 3 pound barrel included but the flexibility to add and use another barrel at any time later.
You can run either one or two barrels with a barrel guide at either end. More reliable motor and improved ventilation in the housing means the tumbler runs cooler than the Lortone 3A or 33B for longer life. Integral on/off switch for added convenience. Tougher cogged drive belt for improved belt life and performance.
Now selling the Mark 2 version of this tumbler fitted with roller bearings on the shafts - these do not require lubrication. However, we do recommend a drop of oil to each bearing infrequently (every 6 months or so) to assist with disassembly if you ever need to dismantly the machine for repair (eg. shaft replacement, etc).
Oil is available separately for those who have purchased the Mark 1 verison (from May 2023 to Jan 2024) - these do require the nylon shaft bearings to be oiled monthly.

Sea glass tumbling
By: Tanya on 13 July 2024I bought this Australian made tumbler to create sea glass. I also bought the sea glass kit which had 2 different grits, plastic pellets and oil. So far I’m getting great results in about 3-5 days tumbling. Motor stays cool and she’s nice and quiet when used on my back veranda. Still on a learning curve but happy with both the tumblers quality and the kit supplies.
