    Finally got my Thumbler's Thumber on bearings

    Works great! I was not going to pay for the commercial one so I built my own.

    Now that makes sense ! I am so tired of mine wobbling ! Can you describe in detail how you did it, parts used etc. Great tumbler EXCEPT for shaft/wheel design. Thanks !

    Really not much to describe. I have a mill at my dad's house ( moved it there after divorce). I just cut the aluminum and drilled and tapped pieces. It has rubber feet on bottom.

    A simple wood platform could be made. The motor mount is just spot wielded to the factory base. You could drill out the wields and screw it to a wood base.

    I bought the bearings off eBay for about 12.00 shipped
