Auscut Smooth 3 Double Barrel (3lb) Rotary Tumbler (AS-1.5-2)
Rated 5/5 based on 10 reviews.31 units in stock
NEW STOCK JUST ARRIVED - Mark 3 version (September '24).
NOTE: this tumbler operates on 230 Volt power.
Aussie Sapphire is very proud to announce this new product to our range.
A lot of development work and thorough testing has gone into this tumbler to come up with an improvement over the existing options.
You can be confident in product quality with a 12 month warranty on manufacturing faults (excludes consumables or damage from incorrect usage).
Popular size with two 3 pound barrels included - the tumbler has an approximate capacity of 3 kilograms (total of barrel weight and all contents).
You can run either one or two barrels with a barrel guide at either end. More reliable motor and improved ventilation in the housing means the tumbler runs cooler than the Lortone 33B for longer life. Integral on/off switch for added convenience. Tougher cogged drive belt for improved belt life and performance.
Now selling the Mark 3 version of this tumbler fitted with roller bearings on the shafts - these do not require lubrication. However, we do recommend a drop of oil to each bearing infrequently (every 3-6 months or so) to assist with disassembly if you ever need to dismantly the machine for repair (eg. shaft replacement, etc).
Oil is available separately for those who have purchased the Mark 1 verison (from May 2023 to Jan 2024) - these do require the nylon shaft bearings to be oiled monthly.

Mosaic Magic - AS-1.5 double barrel tumbler
By: Michelle on 26 March 2024New to tumbling and I'm just tumbling ceramic tiles for mosaics. Very happy with my new double barrel Aussie Sapphire tumbler. It's my first tumbler so being inexperienced in this area I cannot compare to another however I find the size, easy of use and service I received to be excellent. No issues with the noise either. I'm very happy and thank you to the team for answering my questions.

Brilliant!
By: Andrew on 22 February 2024Absolutely love this tumbler. Its unbelievably quiet and has the power to tumble anything. I've put a kilo of Rhodonite through it and it didn't miss a beat. I've had problems in the past tumbling Rhodonite as it's quite heavy and dense but the Aussie Sapphire 1.5-2 ate it up no problems whatsoever. I love it. When back in stock I'm definitely getting another one.

Great Tumbler
By: Bruce on 11 January 2024Prompt fulfilment of my order - and this was at Xmas time. Great support and quick response from Aussie Sapphire to emailed questions about the product. I have found this tumbler to be very quiet and well made. Looking forward to my first batch which should finish in a few weeks time. I would highly recommend Aussie Sapphire and this product to anyone considering buying a tumbler. I have now gone on and purchased other equipment from Aussie Sapphire.

Excellent tumbler for Aussie conditions
By: David on 9 January 2024A really good quality tumbler that's a step up on similar ones available. It runs reasonably cool, draws just 30W when both barrels are full and tumbling away, and the motor can barely be heard when there are no barrels on it. The cooler motor enclosure will definitely lead to longer belt life, and the notched belt will definitely stop any slipping if the belt is just a little loose. Anodised aluminium sides stops flexing of the tumbler, and also help draw heat away from the motor area, acting as a heatsink along the whole side. The rubber tumblers are good quality and should easily see a long service life. I was so impressed with my first one, I bought a second one, and they are both tumbling away happily. I would 100% recommend these to anyone considering a dual barrel tumbler
