Lortone 3A Tumbler (machine/barrel only)

We have finally received some stock of 3A tumblers (Sept'25) - note that the Auscut Smooth 3 tumbler is more affordable with some noticeable design improvements and reliable supply but these may be of interest to those needing the Lortone.

The 3A was one of our biggest sellers. The Lortone 3A Rock Tumbler is proven USA-made quality - a basic single barrel, rotary tumbler with a barrel capacity of 3 pounds (~1.3 kilograms).  These tumblers feature a metal base with moulded rubber barrel to provide extra sound absorption and excellent results.

Instruction book is included plus the Lortone Guide to Rock Tumbling.

Note the last photo shows the tumbler with a starter kit of rock polishing grit which is ideal if you want to get the complete package  - just select from Starter Kit A or B above.  NOTE:  our rock polishing starter kits are now packaged in screw-top plastic jars for extra value and convenience.

Alternatively, if you are interested in tumble polishing jewellery, we recommend our Jewellery Polishing Kit which includes stainless steel shot and burnishing compound.  Any of these options or additional barrels may be selected above.

NOTE ON SHIPPING:  Please select from eParcel (insured/traceable) or Courier at the checkout.  If you select courier, you MUST provide an address where someone can sign for the parcel or a redelivery fee may be charged.

----------------------------

Aussie Sapphire was the Australian Master Importer For Lortone Corporation in the USA when they were in full production.  We have found that supply has been very limited since the pandemic which prompted us to develop our own tumblers.  However, now that Covington has taken over Lortone, we are able to source small quantities of machines where possible and will continue to stock spare parts. We are still authorized to carry out any Lortone Warranty work in our own on site Workshop if required.

NOTE:  when comparing prices with other suppliers, please check the following:

• Voltage - USA suppliers usually add a surcharge for supplying 220/230 Volt tumblers
• Freight Costs - freight can be very expensive from overseas - check first.
• Exchange Rate - currency variations can make a big difference to the end price
• Credit Card Payments - check if there are extra fees on foreign currency transactions
• Stock Levels - check if item is in stock ready to deliver or if item will be drop-shipped
• Current Pricing - if item is not in stock, the published price may not be valid - check first.
• Warranty Support - we support your purchase locally with spare parts IN STOCK.  

When buying from Aussie Sapphire, you can buy with confidence from a stockist who can support your purchase all the way - we have already paid all the expensive import costs so you all you need to worry about is which rocks to start on first.
