Our take on the Tumble Bee Rock Tumblers

The Tumble-Bee is a rotary rock tumbler line built around rubber barrels, a non-slip timing belt and a simple motor-and-pulley drive. It comes in three setups: one 2 lb barrel, one 4 lb barrel, or two 2 lb barrels, so buyers pick capacity and whether they want to run two batches at once. It suits hobbyists polishing stones, glass and metal parts who want a basic, serviceable rotary tumbler rather than a high-end unit. Against rivals like Lortone and Thumler's, it is a straightforward, no-frills machine; the two-barrel version is its main edge for running different grits or materials side by side.

About the Tumble Bee Rock Tumblers

The Tumble-Bee is a rotary rock tumbler for tumbling and polishing stones and glass, and for deburring and polishing metals. It comes in three models: the 1x2 with one 2 lb barrel, the 1x4 with one 4 lb barrel, and the 2x2 with two 2 lb barrels. The two barrels on the 2x2 let you tumble two different materials or run two grits at once, or let two people use it at the same time.

The timing belt is polyurethane with embedded polyester fibers that reinforce its shape and keep it from splitting. Its grooved design helps keep it on the pulleys. The housing is hard composite plastic, so it does not rust and has no sharp metal edges.

A thermal overload protector shuts off the motor automatically if it overheats. A motor cover shields the motor and the pulleys. A lighted on/off switch shows whether the tumbler is running.

Questions and answers

What is the difference between the 1x2, 1x4 and 2x2?
The 1x2 has one 2 lb barrel, the 1x4 has one 4 lb barrel, and the 2x2 has two 2 lb barrels. Pick the 4 lb for larger stones or bigger batches, and the 2x2 to run two grits or materials at once.
What comes in the box?
Each tumbler includes its rubber barrel or barrels, a bottle of lightweight oil, a 3/64-inch Allen wrench and a detailed instruction manual. Grit and tumbling media are not included.
Can it polish metal and glass, not just rocks?
Yes. The maker lists stones, glass, and deburring and polishing metals as uses. Use the appropriate grit sequence and media for each material.
How long does a batch take?
Rotary tumblers run for days to weeks per stage, and a full coarse-to-polish sequence typically takes several weeks. Plan on leaving it running continuously.
Is the two-barrel model worth it over the single barrel?
The 2x2 lets you run two different grits or two materials at the same time, or split it between two users. If you only tumble one batch at a time, the single-barrel models are simpler.
Where is the Tumble Bee Rock Tumblers cheapest?
At All-Star Telescope Canada, for $100.00, as of our latest check.
