Building a Huge Rotary Tumbler from Scratch - Homemade Rotary Tumbler

I need a tumbler for the current restoration project on the main channel. The parts are quite big, that's why the tumbler itself needs to be bigger. I found a 25 liter barrel in the hardware store and I built a complete rotary tumbler around it.
I hope you like my work and the video.

Actually after writing that I figured if you have a rotary table on the milling machine you could use a woodruff cutter (or a slitting cutter if you have one that's small enough to fit in the hole) and mount the part in a rotary table on the milling machine, feed the cutter into the part and just rotate the rotary table.

    Beautiful robust, heavy-duty design and high quality construction! Much stronger and better quality than any tumbler you can buy. 17:15 Nice neat wiring job in motor controller is about 100x better than the so-called professional electricians who wired my house.

    ​@@kerryabear You need some kind of flexible coupling between the motor shaft and the tumbler drive shaft because they are both tightly run in multiple bearings which are hard to keep perfectly aligned. It is also a nice way to smooth out the the possibly shocking motion of the tumbler so those shocks will not transfer back as much to the motor. If you would weld the two shafts together you would get a lot of stress on the shafts, weld, or bearings. :)

    He mentioned in the video that there wasn't much play in the shaft after tightening everything down. I'd imagine a once over after a lot of use would keep everything inline and less likely to cause stress fractures in the shaft. Could have attached the worm gear motor right to the shaft.

    Love the shot when you’re turning the drive shaft (~7:20). Starting zoomed out with the carriage fully out of the shot. Very sleek, some great videography. The movement of the carriage along with the slight movement of the cross slide is visually appealing. Clearly this came naturally from having to turn such a long part but it’s worth noting it’s aesthetically appealing for future videos.

    I probably wouldn't move the carriage so much behind for turning this part, but I liked to have a free bed when putting the part in on camera. I also really liked the look how it moved over to the work piece, that's why I kept that clip. Thank you Sam :-)

    Well, those spring contact terminals from Phoenix are actually designed to take wires with or without those wire end connectors. If you don‘t have good crimping pliers, it‘s better to insert the wire without end connectors because otherwise, the wire can slip out of the connector. But on all the other components like the contactor, switch and timer relay that have screw terminals, wire end connectors is the way to go 👍🏼
