By big i am thinking capacity of 1000 lbs. This is to tumble steel parts coming off our plasma cutting table. My boss came and asked me to be on the lookout for gearbox and 5 or 10hp motors. I'm well known for scrounging around here. He wants us to build something to tumble and debur the parts coming off the cutting table. The largest would be
1in thick and 12in by 12in. So i want to look into this since i have little faith in our recent grad of an "engineer" to design this well, and i think it would be interesting to get involved in this.. So are there any sites with info on these? I'll i find when i search are "Rock Tumblers" About all my boss said was these things sort of self destruct and we'll be replacing chains and parts. What we have is our Plasma table, large rolls, and welders.- posted
