The REBEL 17 is a low-speed rotary rock tumbler built around a 15-pound heavy-duty drum with a rubber liner. It uses pillow block ball bearings and a fan-cooled 1/30 hp motor with overload protection, running at 1250 RPM. The rubber lining and bearing design target the noise and wear problems common to cheaper tumblers. It suits hobbyists and small lapidary shops polishing batches of rough stone, and it carries a 3-year barrel and liner warranty with 1 year on the motor.
