    Default Vibrating brass tumbler for polishing blades

    I decided to try my Lyman vibrating brass tumbler for polishing a blade as I had heard others talk about it and I used to be pretty heavy into firearm reloading.
    The results were very nice. I had some deep pitting that I had to hand sand but the Lyman tumbler did a very good job with little work on my part.

    Nice, what media did you use in the tumbler?

    Lemur, it was Corn cob media with some Lyman liquid Turbo media added. I also put some Iosso Quick Brite Case Polish in the media as well and tumbled it for quite a few hours.
    I have a Shumate Tungsteel blade in it that I just put in less than an hour ago. Anxious to see if it turns out as well.
