FAQs
What is the capacity of the Gunson Vibratory Tumbler?
The tumbler has a capacity of 5lb (approximately 2.2kg) of parts and media combined.
Do I need to buy polishing media separately?
Yes, polishing media, such as the brown resin for de-burring and rust removal or ceramic for polishing, are available separately (Part Nos: 77160 and 77161) and are required for operation.
What size parts can this tumbler handle?
It is ideal for objects up to 175mm (7") long. Ensure parts are not too small to be lost or too large to tumble effectively.
What type of power does it require?
The tumbler is fitted with a 25W motor and requires a 220v/50Hz power supply with a standard BS mains plug.
Is the tumbler compliant with safety standards?
Yes, the unit is CE, UKCA & RoHS compliant.
How do I clean the tumbler bowl?
After each use, empty the contents and wipe the bowl and lid with a damp cloth. Ensure all parts are dry before storing.
Can I use this for plastic parts?
This tumbler is primarily designed for metal parts. Using it with plastics may result in damage or unsatisfactory finishing due to the abrasive nature of the media and the tumbling action.
Troubleshooting
Tumbler does not vibrate.
Check that the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet and the unit's motor is switched on. Ensure the lid is properly closed, as some models have safety interlocks.
Excessive noise during operation.
Verify that the lid is securely fastened. Ensure the bowl is not overloaded and that the items being tumbled are appropriate for this type of process. Check that the unit is on a stable surface.
Poor polishing results.
Confirm you are using the correct type of polishing media for the material and desired finish. Ensure the media and parts are clean. Check that the tumbler is run for an adequate amount of time. Do not overload the bowl.
Leakage from the bowl lid.
Ensure the lid is properly aligned and securely fastened. Inspect the lid's sealing gasket for damage or debris and clean it if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the tumbler is placed on a stable, level surface.

- Place the items to be polished into the bowl on top of the media. Do not exceed the 5lb (2.2kg) capacity.
- Securely fasten the lid to prevent any leakage during operation.
- Plug the unit into a 220v/50Hz power outlet using the provided BS mains plug.

Care:
- After each use, empty the bowl and clean the tumbler thoroughly. Wipe the bowl and lid with a damp cloth. Ensure all parts are dry before storing.
- Periodically inspect the lid seal for signs of wear and tear to ensure a proper seal.
