You mean @TeRei
oops ............ yep
The frame came up beaut but the advice from Saeco did my head in. Simple me just wants the name of all the parts etc so I can buy them.Keen to finalise it. Crikey I bought the motor from Oz and the seller could not have been more helpful.
small 2 1/4 " and the other is 5" but if you used a larger rod i would go 5 1/2" i got mine from here
Aluminium V Belt Pulley A Section Single Groove Various Sizes From 1 1 4 TO 20" | eBay
So what shaft do I need for the pulleys? Are they cut to size or do you make them? What is the size i.e. length and make of the belt please.Thanks. Will contact the seller in Oz for the pulleys. Saeco quoted me minimum of $590 to supply subject to confirming specs.
$590.....? :wtfsmilie:
Just dug this thread out.. Motor Bearings and Steel Rods ordered.....
This thread inspired me when it was first started. Scrounged a few bits from the local scrap deal ( tube, motor and frame) , bought some bearings and bolts from tradezone store. S/S media and pick up magnet from Cabelas. Tumbler has been up and running for a year now and cleaned tens of thousands of cases. Attachment 60745

That's a nice unit boss. I just can't justify $550 + for a new one, and, I'd rather learn how to build one. If the motor shits itself, I can always spend more on that later if it ends up being a good investment.
Mate, just out of interest. What did you use for the agitators and how did you fix them in?
The agitators are some blocks of nylon or plastic I got from a friend. They were sealed to the pvc with silicone sealant and screwed from the outside.
Before I got the nylon I was just going to use some L shaped stainless steel and pop rivet it on.
Thanks man. Reckon the nylon is the way forward.
The stainless steel media I've found round here seems bloody expensive. Could you just use a whole lot of stainless screws or nails???
@Kudu
Give it a try and let us know how you get on.

The media pins are a good shape and small enough to clear out primer pockets. Buy once.
How many kg of pins for how many cartage's?
Hi, this looks like a new project for me, have old washing machine motor, small and large V pulleys, large plastic box to put it all in, right, will have a brew and get in to it, Cheers.
Thanks Kscott since I'm only cleaning 50 at a time I'll only need half a kg:thumbsup:
