    The mk1 model was not big enough, hence mk2 & mk3.

    Yes I made an adapter to join the plastic bucket to the wiper motor.

    The media used is 304 grade stainless steel pins about 1mm in diameter and about 11mm long.

    Agitation in this media, along with the washing liquid, water and citric acid is what cleans the cases.

    Cheers

    Cheers. I'd only ever be cleaning no more than 50 cases at a time so thats why I thought the smaller one was good. Where did you get your media from??

    @stumpy

    Thanks for the offer mate but I don't have a use for it at the moment

    I'm sure one of the other guys will put it to far better use.

    Cheers

    A wolf pup and a bear cub as pets would be way cool.
