Notice the spacing on the parts the way they are set in. The parts will follow a torus shape as they "march" around the bowl and will not rattle against each other leaving good edges. Instead they follow spaced a little bit just like little soldiers and they all come out with crips edges.
That would also mean you would want to stick with same size and shaped parts in the same batch also?

Easy to read info on the subject, gives comments on the types of tumblers and usage. Seems that the ratio of media to part load has a lot to do with part collisions. Rotary tumbler gives better edge radius while the vibratory type gives a better finish, least that's what I got from it so far.

The part on Compounds is interesting.
"I find that the problem is the compound. They’re either not using the right kind (substituting simple green, etc.) or not using the compound correctly"
There goes that Idea :doh:

:bang: I usually read all I can on a subject till information overload occurs, still wondering why Spot is running, oh ya back to subject, then its just grab some stuff and give it a try.
So ya make up some coupons, toss em in the machine and see what happens. As mentioned earlier, taking items to a PRO shop might be the way to go in the end, the hobby aspect demands some trial and error.
I like the walnut shell with green rouge as a final step presented. Finish looks good, its the in-between that is awaiting your documented outcome. I'm still at the steel BB's for debur stage.
