Dryer or Frontloading Washer as Makeshift Tumbler/Parts Washer?

Make a ball mill:

You could use your lathe for this, if you don't mind the wear and tear.

Just another idear for you...

On my roll-in bandsaw, I bought a peristaltic pump off eBay. Hooked it up to a little squirt tip right above the sawing point. I set the speed on the pump to just keep the blade wet. this works very well and I didn't have to build a whole recirc system.

That is actually a very good idea, something I had sort of pondered for my lathe--just enough coolant to keep some smoke in the air, but not enough to splash all over the place. I would have still used a submersible or sumpn cheap/available, but valve off a small tip.
