    If you want inexpensive you need to look at a buzz bucket.

    Vibratory tumbler.

    More info is needed. Do you wish to wet tumble or dry tumble? There are inexpensive platforms for both modes. There's tons of wet tumble and dry tumble info on this forum, for example.

    I just bought a Frankford arsenal one and its tumbling right now. Hard to beat for the price if it lasts.

    These ones made by Berry's are nice. Free shipping for orders over $75 from their site.

    Harbor Freight stores have both rotary drum and vibratory tumblers if you want something that is not expensive to get started.

    HF stores are everywhere today!!!!!!!! I have 5 of them within 20 miles or so.

    Have you read the STICKY here on Citric Acid Brass Cleaner. I was considering a tumbler but the citric acid wash does such a good and CHEAP!!!!! job of cleaning brass I don't need a tumbler.

    I'll second the Berry's. Been using one for over 5 years, it's still going strong.
    Don't use it for cleaning much any more, but it does a great job of 'New Finishing' the clean brass.
