Hey everyone,
I've recently started experimenting with a magnetic tumbler(

I’m using a small benchtop model (about 1kg capacity) with stainless steel pins, and it finishes silver and gold pieces in 20–30 minutes. The results are super smooth and shiny without losing detail, which was always a concern with traditional tumbling.
Just curious—has anyone else here used one? Any tips for getting the best results (like solution mix, time settings, or pin maintenance)? Would love to hear your experiences!
