The issue with hot operation is that the machine vents largely to the underside where there is little airflow. I simply raised the unit off the table using 4x4 wood blocks, positioned down the left and right sides avoiding the air exhaust vents. This immediately lowered the temperature around 15 degrees in my estimation, from hot to the touch to simply warm.
Their website says this thing holds 6L; The Frankford Arsenal rotary tumbler holds 7L and seems to have a better lid. The only way I could see myself getting this one over the Frankford is if it was a lot cheaper.
Another thing I see is that this one has a digital timer that can be set up to 8hrs where as the Frankford has a spring timer that can go to 3hrs.
Only 5lbs of brass? I use closer to 10 lbs in the ones made by other companies. I hope your price will stay competitive because that's the only way I'll buy one.
That looks very small, about 1/2 to 2/3 the size of the Frankford Arsenal tumbler :(
I wish I could give this tumbler a positive comment, but I just can't. Mine constantly overheats and shuts off after about 30 minutes, even when running only 10 lbs total weight (maximum is 17 lbs). It takes at least 30 minutes for it to cool enough to restart and even then, it will just overheat and shut off again. I bought this because of the programmable timer whereas other brands just use a mechanical timer. I can't trust it to run while I'm away from home now, for fear the thermal protection could fail and start a fire. What really pisses me off is that Hornady KNOWS about this problem and has a section in the manual about having to unplug the unit for 30 minutes if it shuts off due to overheating. I love Hornady stuff and most of my loading bench is red, but I wish I had bought the RCBS or Frankford.
The ad (this video) says it holds 5 pounds of cases plus whatever the media and liquid weigh. I figure that'd be about a half gallon of liquid plus the pins, is that about right?
Sofa King Tactical, closer to 3 quarts of water. The media and cases weigh 5 pounds each, and water weighs just a tick under 8 pounds per gallon.
@@randyemerson8407 That's disappointing, this thing is on sale for a buck and a quarter right now (maybe there's a reason for that) and I was gonna pick it up. Shoulda grabbed the FART over black Friday when it was a buck-thirty, dag-nabbit.
Sofa King Tactical I wound up getting the Lyman. It comes with everything you need, including the separator. There is no weight limit given in the manual and I can load it up and it runs comparatively cool. The only down side is that it’s pretty noisy.
I don't think it's coming to market. It's been 7 months since it was announced and no one has them in stock. There are no reviews from people who get stuff from companies to review. The only video is a 34 second promotional video. I think they ran into problems with it. Very unusual for a company to announce a new product and not have any shipped out after 7 months. Especially with no issued reason why and no expected date of availability.
I can't find this sold anywhere. What's the price
Frankfort arsenal timbler
They shoulve done a screw on lid.. Tension lid are junk
Sadly, the lid is the least of this tumbler's problems.
seems small
"Holds over 5000 cartridge cases?"
Negative. 500 would be more like it and even then, you're not going to get very good cleaning action, even with .380's.
Notice that my initial comment was posted over two months ago. THE ORIGINAL VIDEO stated clearly (and erroneously) that the drum, QUOTE "...holds over 5000 cases." I'M GLAD THEY RE-SHOT THE VIDEO and removed the false statement.
I'm the last person you'll see bashing SS tumbling. I was an early adopter of this technology back in 2010 and am totally sold on it. I will never go back to vibratory tumbling with dusty, inefficient corn cob or walnut media.
The fact remains that the more cases that you load into a drum, the slower the cleaning action. My Thumler's Tumbler has a greater capacity and I would definitely not load 500 .380acp into the drum and expect to see good results unless I ran it for at least 6-8 hours. With the size of this Hornady unit's drum, I wouldn't load more than 200 cases at a time. The theoretical capacity and the REAL WORLD capacity are two different things.
No, I didn't notice your comment was 2 months old and I never watched the alleged "original Video", so defending your inaccurate comment with evidence that no longer exists seems convenient to me.
You "wouldn't load more than 200 .380 casings at a time", in a 6 liter drum? I can clean 500 .380 casings in a 3 liter drum I made from Home Depot, spinning at 25 rpm's (which is slow IMO) in 3 hours... do it ALL THE TIME and that's REAL WORLD. I have 6 tumblers and sort, clean, prep and reload 5000 casings a month. It's not only capacity and RPM but media ratio as well. The amount and type of media used has a drastic affect on run time and not all stainless media is equal. I clean 500 9MM in my Thumler's, with 7lbs of media and they are factory clean in 3 hours. Your points on the video are purely conjecture and based on a product you have not even tried yet...that was my point. Buy it and try it before claiming what it wont do.
You seem to want to manufacture an argument when there isn't any basis for one. Must be cold where you're living... too cold to do anything outside and productive, so "on-line arrogance" is your choice for a Sunday afternoon. Hope it's enjoyable for you!
QUOTE: "Buy it and try it before claiming what it wont do."
Now, why in the world would I buy a smaller capacity, not-yet-proven-in-the-real-world tumbler from Hornady when I already have the established king of longevity in the Thumler's Tumbler? Thumler's has likely been around longer than you've been alive and they have a proven track record of LASTING. "Pay more, get less" just doesn't sound like a very sound strategy to me.
Interesting note: As of today, I don't see any online retailer offering this unit for sale. According to a report from "The Firearm Blog" written in late October, they wrote: "At the time of this product announcement by Hornady there has been no MSRP set for the 110V or 220V model."

So, your advisal to "Buy it and try it before claiming what it wont do" is rather hilarious, considering that you, yourself do not own this unit and your claims on what it will or will not do are purely fictitious.
When Hornady finally decided to get into the tumbler market, they likely bought a Thumler's Tumbler and copied it's best features. No thanks to a Hornady unit. I'll stick with my tried and true Thumler's unit. It's been performing perfectly since 2010 when I got into the stainless steel tumbling process and it hasn't given me even the tiniest bit of problems.
