vibratory tumbler questions
I bought a vib tumbler and I left it running for approximately 5 hrs. When i cam back to check that status of my bolts etc, what I found was a wax like substance on my work table. Now the tumbler runs really slowly. I emptied the tumbler and flipped it over and I dont see where the wax like substance could have come from(?) Everything is clean with no residue. Any ideas as to what may be the problem?
If everything is coming your way, you are in the wrong lane.

Was the medium still intact?? I think your problem is with the tumbler motor and you may have left it running too long causing it to overheat. Call the manufacturer and ask them what the waxy substance might be and if it came from the tumbler motor. My guess would be that the wax is part of a lubricant that escaped to collect on the workbench.
Good luck,
