Vibratory Tumbler
I use vib tumblers for restoring small antique clock parts when the shape makes it difficult or impossible to hand buff. Sometimes the vib tumbler, with the right medium (corn cob and Flitz polish) can also bring up the shine a notch after machine buffing, and remove light buff marks. I find it takes too long for a vib tumbler to work a part from a flat surface to a polished luster to ever replace machine buffing, but for oddly shaped parts, it’s the best thing for what I do.---Ken
