## Overview

The Frankford Arsenal Platinum Series Rotary Tumbler is a professional-grade brass cleaning system featuring a spacious 7-liter drum capable of cleaning up to 1,000 .223 cases simultaneously. It offers a maintenance-free drive train with an automatic 3-hour timer and a noise-dampening dual-layer drum for quieter operation.

## Description

The Platinum Series Rotary Tumbler delivers the most effective brass cleaning process available. With a 7-liter capacity, you can clean up to 1,000 pieces of .223 brass at once. Simply add water and Frankford Arsenal Brass Cleaning Solution to your brass casings and let the wet rotary tumbler do all the cleaning. For an extra level of clean, add Frankford Arsenal Stainless Steel Media Pins to the mixture. The pins easily penetrate inside cases and into primer pockets to deliver unbeatable cleaning power. Rotary tumbling with stainless steel media in a liquid bath gets brass much cleaner and works much faster than ultrasonic or vibratory tumbling methods. This Frankford Arsenal Rotary Tumbler features a timer, so you can set the tumbler to run 0 to 3 hours and it will automatically shut off.

Review: Excellent product - This is a new review, as I have used it more. Does it clean? Very well, I have always used walnut and corn cob media in a vibrating cleaner. Difference night and day. The vibrating cleans, but primer pocket and internal portion of the case still dirty. This cleans inside and out, including primer pockets. It also gives your brass that new look. Does all this in 3 hours. I vibrated some 45 cases for about 5 hours, looked at it later and tried another 5 or 6 hours still unhappy. Ran the same 45's through this for 3 hours and wow, finally got what I wanted, shiny new looking 45 cases. My formula, a squirt of Dawn dish soap, and a dash of lemishine . I don't measure, just a squirt of soap, and then pour a little lemishine in Palm of my hand, add water a few inches above the brass and it gets the job done nicely. I have read about tightening of the lids. Some reviews claim you you have to really tighten hard to keep from leaking. That concerned me, I don't like torquing down hard on gaskets, afraid of splitting them. I noticed the problem is initial filling. You get water on the threads and on top and when you first start the tumbling it appears to be leaking, but it is usually the excess dripping off and stops quickly, so unless it is really losing water, just let it run for a minute until you see it stop dripping the excess. I tighten well but I don't stand there applying all the torque I can and it works fine. Watch YouTube in the drying methods, I usually spin awhile in a media separator and it separates the pins and excess water. Shake in a towel and then set by a fan. It dries fairly quick. I don't get water spots (I think the lemishine helps with that). Should you buy this? Yes I say do it. The only way you will get brass this clean is to buy new brass. Should you get the Frankford arsenal tumbler? I say yes again, large capacity, timer, built for brass cases not rocks, gets the job done with minimum effort.
Review: It's awesome, but takes a bit more work. - This thing works fantastic. It cleans the outside, inside, and primer pockets very well. Like everything in life, getting better results usually requires that you put in a bit more effort. I cleaned some brass for a friend of mine, and he was ecstatic about how polished and new it looked. But after watching the process I went through post-tumble, he concluded that he'd never do "all that" just for cleaner brass. So if you're reading through these reviews on desertcart, whether this is your first tumbler, or you're making the switch from dry tumbling, you need to be real about what kind of reloader you are. If you are competing or training several times a week, shooting thousands of rounds each month, then you probably don't care to spend any MORE time loading than you already do. This method is going to add more time. If you are reloading for a hobby, as much as you are for the cost savings, then you probably don't mind spending a little more time for a nicer result. But you should be aware up front that separating the stainless steel media from the brass is a little more time consuming than with dry media. To speed this up a media transfer magnet helps, as does an ENCLOSED media separator. Having everything in water as you agitate it really helps the stainless steel media find it's way out of the brass and to the bottom of a bucket. The ENCLOSED (this is important) separator helps keep pins from bouncing out everywhere as you spin the crank, and keeps you from having to hold a 25lb to 30lb drum over your sink, shaking it till your spine is torqued. Drying takes more time. I typically transfer them to a large towel, then I grab the corners and pick the towel up with the brass hanging in it like a hammock. I do the motion as if I'm polishing a bowling ball for about 30 seconds or so. Then, I spread everything out on a table outside, allowing it to dry completely via sunlight. Also, you will have to inspect the towel for more media, as well as peek in every case before you try to cram a primer in it. Steel media pins can sometimes get lodged in the flash hole. I don't mean for this to sound like I'm complaining, I just really want everyone who spends the money on this tumbler to understand that it is going to take more work. I personally LOVE the results I'm getting. But if you agree with my friend, you might consider getting the Berry's Model 400 tumbler kit. It was the second choice on my list, and I think it's worth checking out. And honestly, if I owned a house instead of a condo, I'd probably have gone that route. Some other things to know before buying... Decapping is now a separate step done before tumbling. Otherwise, you're primer pockets won't be cleaned, which sort of defeats the purpose. Stainless media is typically $45 to $50 for 5lbs. This kit includes a 5lb bag of media. The media should last you a lifetime, assuming you don't lose half of it in your drain, yard, or somewhere else clever. Also, I'd pass on using the special cleaning solution sample they give you. I use a mixture of Dawn soap and Lemishine. The soap helps the media clean, and keeps the dirt from sticking back to the cases and media while you're pouring the dirty water off the top. The Lemishine helps clean, but mostly helps the brass dry quickly, and without spots. Be sure you don't add these to your drum until it's almost full of water. Otherwise, you'll be dealing with a TON of overflowing suds from the soap. And one last thing to know is that it's still pretty loud. I bought this thinking it would be a great way to keep from disturbing my neighbors with a vibratory dry tumbler. It's really not that much quieter, if it even is at all. The flat sides of the tumbler sound like a redundant stomping noise to my downstairs neighbor unless I run it on a shelf in my outside patio closet. No biggie. The motor unit is powerful, yet also noisy. Again, solved in my specific scenario by keeping it outside in a patio closet with the door shut. I really think the Berry's Model 400 tumbler is probably quieter. I hope at least some of this information is helpful, and I'll try to answer any questions left as comments. UPDATE: It's been almost a year since I purchased this tumbler. I've run thousands of cases through it and it's still going strong. I still love the results I'm getting, and I still stand behind my original statement that it takes a little more work post-tumble. Just thought it's good to know that it still runs great after a year of continual use.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what makes this better than the rebel 17?**
A: I have Rebel 17, I bought it before they released FART.  I been using for about 6 years now.  Things that I don't like is metal edge on the drum digs in to your hand when you carry, there is no window, strainer or timer.  Its built very solid but rubber rollers have worn over time.  I also paid twice at the time $240 I believe.  Also I had to buy pins separately.

**Q: Is there a minimum number of cases to tumble?  I have 380 .45acp cases I'd like to clean, but wonder if the tumbler will shine that small an amount.**
A: There is no minimum number of cases per say to clean and the rotary tumbler is rated to clean up to 1000 cases of 223 brass. You will love this product and it will shine up your 45acp nicely. Thanks for your question.

**Q: is the five pounds of media enough or do you need to buy extra**
A: It is plenty of media.  It works great. I have found the secret to really shiny brass is to use dish soap and lemishine to clean. After that rinse and shake the pins out. My last step and I believe the most important is to add clean water back in and put it back on for 15-30 minutes. Everytime I have done that it has been great. Without the last step it's hit or miss with the soap get completely rinsed off and not leaving water spots.

**Q: How do they recommend drying out the cases after cleaning in wet solution?**
A: My steps are - 1. replace the seal cap with the strainer cap. 2. pour out as much water as you can without spilling out pin. rinse and drain as many times as needed to get clear water. 3. Dump remaining water and pins into bucket, shake to release as many pins as possible. 5. Use my dry media separator to remove more pins. 6. Spread brass onto a large white towel, let dry overnight (you can speed up drying with a hairdryer). 7. When dry grab the ends of the towel and roll the brass back and forth to loosen remaining pins. DONE. Pick up loose pins with large release magnet from Harbor Frieght. Works Great.

... attention, l'appareil est en 110 v et la prise nécessite un adaptateur, ou un transfo 220 110 déjà équipé (500 va largement suffisant) La difficulté survient lorsqu'on doit séparer les étuis des aiguilles inox ... utiliser un aimant ! et beaucoup de patience ! je n'ai pas acheté le "panier"
