[salpal48]

Does anyone know anything about this Machine.. a friend of mine Got one off ebay . when I saw it it looked like a Blue Thumler. it has a Hi speed 3000rpm motor. . I compared it To my Thumler model B and It is almost identical. This was not Home made . all high Polish Blue .
motor is identical Fasco. all parts interchange. . the only Difference, Back support, and the top comes off.
There was only basic instruction In the box. . The box was packed Professionally . No address, No country Of Origin. No company Name
Price was $115.00 + $10.00 ship

My Google is failing me on finding this

Looks like it is well made.

It is interesting as hell. The guy sold six or so on Ebay and now only has a lone Extreme Rebel 17 listed.

Like said, interesting.

I've been using one for a few months. It's a nice unit. You need to make sure the drum is completely dry or it will just spin out and not turn. It doesn't come with pins, and after purchasing pins on eBay and experimenting I think I'll skip the pins while tumbling. They are a pita and not really beneficial for me.

Hi - Newbie here..... I just bought one as well - and this site is the only place I can find where others have it and are talking about it. Other than Drew P - how do you guys like it? Like Drew P - I just ordered 5lbs of pins on ebay, and a magnet to help separate the pins from the brass.

I find Them to be Very good no problems

I might have too look into one of those, will be interesting to hear some reviews of how they hold up.

Magnets work with SS pins?

[DrewDennis]

I thought the same Triggernosis...the mfg of the pins I ordered says that they are. I guess they're stainless coated somehow.... /www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I5RNI8G/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I don't Find any Difference Between My Model B hi speed and the Ballistic Bill . Other than a few visual differences. no Difference. My Hi speed is 20 years Old. if it lasts half as long . I.m happy

[DrewDennis]

Nice! I'm looking forward to getting this in!

Magnets work with SS pins?

There are many alloys of stainless, some are magnetic, some are not.

[Drew P]

Mine still doing well, although I've pretty much abandoned using any SS pins. They are a big pain in the butt compared to nothing at all, and I can tumble a lot more brass in each batch without them.
So far I've used the tumbler with ceramic media from harbor freight, SS pins, powder coat powders for bullets, and lots of brass. The rubber liner on the drum seems to be of a very high quality. Very thick.

Sal -

Since you have both the Thumlers and the Ballistic Bill's, could you please compare the labels on each motor? Are they identical motors by manufacturer and model?

Thanks!
