The Giant GB3 is an excellent size for my shop. And the best part is that Giant is a small family owned business. I purchased this vibratory finisher used form a machinery dealer, but decided to get my media right from Giant. I could not be happier with their customer service. Infact, the owner of the company was the one who called me back right away.

Congratulations on a the new addition, not what I was expecting but makes perfect sense. Finishing parts efficiently and safely will definitely add value for your customers

I used to do insurance inspections at various engineering companies here in the UK, one of which specialises in component finishing. I was always amazed by the number of different sorts of tumbling media that they used. They had a big local customer base of small to medium engineering companies, that used them for finishing various components, of all materials from copper and brasses, through stainless and titanium. Always an interesting visit.

We had the same brand of tumbler when I worked at the shock absorber company in Buffalo. It is truly an industrial unit. You will love it when you add the soap injector. ---Doozer

Certainly a nice addition for your shop. The Giant is certainly a good brand of equipment. This will save you alot of time. Thanks for sharing. 👍

Everyone wishes they could make a purchase of a devise that actually did what it was supposed to do, efficiently, consistently, cheaply.

Great addition to the shop Josh!

I used a vibrating finisher for 50 plus years in my shop, had rotating barrels too. The process is an art and not a science Many variables, run time, media shape and composition, quantity of media in drum, quantity of parts in drum, media compound and volume of water. Yes water! It appears you did not know about adding water. Water is an important component as is the soap compound, which keeps the media pours clean, open and cutting You should also obtain a dry rust inhibiting compound to be mixed into a solution and be kept in a separate container into which the finished parts are dipped Some parts require long run times and depending on how much water evaporates you will need to add more The volume of water has a great influence on cutting speed Drain the water into some sort of settling tank and not directly into your drain as it carries fines from the media breaking down and will eventually block your drain There is more to know but with this you will be off to a good start Oh, forgot to say, the intensity of the vibration is also controllable To intense may damage your parts I don’t recommend running dry These were made to run wet Good luck!

Very cool, been looking forward to a new video coming out Mr Topper, Looks like it's going to be a great addition to the shop. Looking forward to the next installment. From kiwi land

nice new machine for the shop well done on the research and such i like the bit where it separates the parts saves digging for them and if not quite ready nicking yourself on the part Cheers from North Queensland Australia

Nice. Consider that when you were standing on the pallet, the mass your body added was the primary reason the performance improved. This is by design an "out of balance" device and if the machine can move freely, a lot of the cleaning motion dissipates into moving the machine instead of moving the media and contents of the tub. Since you want to keep it mobile/portable..............consider building your base out of steel with provisions for adding rigid mass/ballast to the base so that the tub and contents react to the unbalance forces and not the machine itself. I thought I heard you mention that you would make it "forkable" and that would be much better than having it on a cart with wheels (unless the cart had a way to lift the wheels and set the cart frame directly on the floor).

Another great addition to the shop! If you keep adding machines.. you're going to need a bigger shop! 😃 The gray primered parts on the floor look interesting.... is that an upcoming video?
-
I look forward to seeing the new base built. Great video, Jake..👍🇺🇸

We've got one of those at work for bulk parts deburring. Plan ahead for running it wet by having a settling tank for the drained dust when you empty the liquid. You'll get a mix of clay from the media and metal dust, likely rust as you're running steel/iron parts. Also keep it treated with anti-algae/fungus chemicals so it doesn't become a terrarium! Even if you drain it after use, the media bed will be damp a long time. Have fun with it!

Finishing - the always overlooked and so very important part of manufacturing. That’s a great machine.

Love the exit ramp

Nice one for sure Josh, great addition to the shop. Customer satisfaction is #1....Ive found if ya add in 10# of ground walnut shells to the ceramics and pour in one can of brasso and run it all in liquid or in your case, with the liquid injection system, the finish will be phenomenal. (substitute with corn cobs vice walnuts for aluminum and softer metals, brass, bronze, etc) Don

You probably already know ... but Harbor Freight sells "finish media" (crushed walnut and separately ground corn cob) that will polish your parts to a high luster. They sell it in bulk boxes and so far it's been priced reasonably.
-
I remember running one of those in a fab shop I worked at. This was years ago, but I remember there was some sort of liquid added to the media for lubrication.
-
Nice shop addition. Looks like it will improve your efficiency.

Half an hour ago I didn't know what a tumblr was, now I am thinking of things in my household that could use being thrown into one!
