8 LBS Tumbler Grit Kit sackorange Coarse Medium & Ceramic Filler

Description

Product Overview

The 8 LBS Rock Tumbler Grit Kit from sackorange is engineered for both hobbyists and professional stone polishers who demand reliable, consistent results across every stage of the tumbling process. This comprehensive kit includes 2 lb of 60‑grade coarse silicon carbide grit, 2 lb of 220‑grade medium silicon carbide grit, 1 lb of 500‑grade fine silicon carbide grit, and 1 lb of 1200‑grade aluminum oxide polish, complemented by 2 lb of high‑density ceramic filler media. Each component is packaged in durable, leak‑proof plastic jars with secure screw‑on lids, ensuring the media stays dry and ready for use. The included stainless‑steel scoop allows precise measurement, so you can easily dose the exact amount needed for each polishing phase without waste. Designed to work with any standard rock tumbler, this kit provides enough material to process approximately 16‑20 lbs of stones per cycle, making it a cost‑effective solution for extended projects. The combination of silicon carbide and aluminum oxide delivers a progressive polishing sequence that starts with aggressive material removal and finishes with a high‑shine, glass‑like surface. All ingredients meet industry standards for purity and particle size consistency, guaranteeing uniform abrasion and minimizing the risk of uneven polishing or surface defects.

Usage

When using the 8 LBS Tumbler Grit Kit, begin by loading your chosen stones into the tumbler barrel, ensuring they are clean and free of debris. Add the appropriate amount of coarse 60‑grade silicon carbide grit using the provided scoop—typically one to two tablespoons per pound of stone—to initiate the shaping phase. Seal the tumbler and run it for the recommended duration, usually 7‑10 days, depending on stone hardness. After the coarse stage, drain the used grit, rinse the stones, and replace the media with the 220‑grade medium silicon carbide grit for the smoothing phase. This step refines the stone surfaces and prepares them for the fine polishing stage. Once the medium grit cycle is complete, repeat the draining and rinsing process before adding the 500‑grade fine silicon carbide grit, which eliminates fine scratches and prepares the stones for the final polish. Finally, introduce the 1200‑grade aluminum oxide polish along with the ceramic filler media; the filler helps to suspend the polish particles, providing a uniform, high‑gloss finish. Throughout each stage, monitor the tumbler’s vibration and temperature to ensure optimal performance. The kit’s versatile formulation works equally well for a wide variety of gemstones, including agate, jasper, quartz, and even tougher minerals like basalt, making it suitable for both decorative jewelry projects and larger geological specimens.
