The KG-1 Mini-Sonic Vibratory Tumbler employs vibration rather
than rotation as the driving force that powers the action
of the tumbling load inside the tumbling hopper. This forces
the tumbling load to alternately separate and compact during
each cycle, allowing fresh abrasive (grit) to be drawn in
between the materials in the tumbler hopper (which is motionless
except for the driving arc of motion). Compared to a rotary tumbler, a vibratory tumbler uses less grit and processes a load much faster (4-6 weeks or more compared to 1-3 weeks).
The Mini-Sonic tumbler operates without shafts, belts, pulleys, eccentric weights or even a motor. With no moving parts, this tumbler typically outlasts other types. The tumbler housing is durable ABS plastic, which is long-lasting and easy to clean, while the hopper is cast polyvinyl, which will last for thousands of tumbling hours. The operating frequency is in excess of 3,500 vibrations per minute, with rotation and intensity levels pre-set at the factory for optimum performance. The intensity level can be manually adjusted as needed.
The KG-1 Mini-Sonic comes with a hopper that has a 2.2-pound capacity and the unit measures approximately 11" long, 6" wide, and 7-1/2" high (including the dimensions of the hopper). It will tumble-polish any type of stone, from opal to topaz, as well as metal objects like coins, shell casings, and jewelry findings.
The manufacturer's operating instructions in the Owner's Manual serve as a guideline, but you'll find that you will soon develop your own methods and grit sequences for polishing different types of stones. Unless you're tumbling materials with a Moh's hardness of 7.5 and above, you can skip the manufacturer's Step 4 instructions (pre-polish with 600 Grit Aluminum Oxide) and move directly to their Step 5 (final polish). Our vibratory tumbling kit, which contains enough grit to process 10-14 pounds of rock, ceramic media, and 2 pounds of regular tumbling rock, is optimized to work well with any type of load -- in only 4 steps.

Limited Lifetime Warranty:
Custom Technology equipment bearing the trade name of Mini-
Sonic or Micro-Sonic is warranted to the original retail
purchaser for normal use, during the life expectancy of the
product (25 years). Hoppers are warranted for 4000 hours or
6 months, whichever comes first.
Tumbling Tip:
Although the KG-1 is relatively quiet when in operation, you
can decrease the vibration noise even more by setting the
machine on a rubber mat or piece of old carpet. Scroll
