Product Description

Tumble Bee Tumblers

Tumble-Bee 1x2

The Tumble-Bee 1×2 is a rotary rock tumbler that comes complete with one 2lb capacity barrel. This model is a great choice for small scale tumbling needs and is the perfect size for professional tumbling of smaller material such as stones, glass and deburring and polishing metals.

Tumble-Bee 1x4

The Tumble-Bee 1×4 is a rotary rock tumbler that comes complete with one 4lb capacity barrel. This model is a great choice for tumbling larger quantities at once and is the perfect size for professional tumbling of larger material such as stones, glass and deburring and polishing metals.

Tumble-Bee 2x2

The Tumble-Bee 2×2 is a rotary rock tumbler that comes complete with two 2lb-capacity barrels. This model is a great choice for small scale tumbling needs and is the perfect size for professional tumbling of smaller material such as stones, glass and deburring and polishing metals. Two barrels allow you to tumble two different materials or use two different grits at once. It’s also a great choice for two people to use at the same time.

Included with all Tumble-Bee Tumblers

  • Complete rubber barrel(s)
  • One bottle of clean, lightweight oil
  • One 3/64" Allen wrench
  • Detailed instruction manual

Key Features

Non-slip timing belt
The grooved design in the Tumble-Bee’s timing belt prevents it from slipping off the pulleys, keeping your rock tumbler tumbling smoothly. It’s also made of strong polyurethane with embedded polyester fibers to reinforce the belt’s shape and to prevent the belt from splitting. Tumble-Bee is the only rock tumbler available on the market with this advanced feature.

Thermal overload protector
Installed in every Tumble-Bee rock tumber, the thermal overload protector automatically shuts off the motor if it overheats, protecting you and your rock tumbler.

On/off power switch
The lighted power switch easily indicates if the Tumble-Bee is on or off, preventing you plugging/unplugging before and after use. While this might seem like a no-brainer, many tumbler manufactures skimp on this simple feature.

Shielded moving parts
The motor and pulleys are shielded with a motor cover for your safety.

Rust-proof housing
The Tumble-Bee is made of a hard, composite plastic to prevent rusting and to eliminate sharp, metal edges.

Attractive design
Not only is the Tumble-Bee a technologically advanced rock tumbler compared to other rock tumbler brands, but it’s also the best looking rock tumbler available on the market (sorry if we sound biased, but it’s true)!

Optional Rock Tumbler Kit

All three of these tumblers are available with an optional rock tumbler kit that includes all of the rock, grit and polish you need to successfully polish one batch of stones. It’s a great starter kit for beginners and allows you to tumble right out of the box.

Included with the Rock Tumbler Kit

  • 1-1/2lbs of properly-sized agates, jasper and petrified wood
  • Pre-measured coarse grit
  • Pre-measured medium grit
  • Pre-measured fine grit
  • Pre-measured TXP polish

Note: The TB 1x2lb tumbler includes One Rock Tumbler Kit, and the TB 1x4lb and 2x2lb tumblers include Two Rock Tumbler Kits. These are only included when purchased with the Rock Tumbler Kit.

Update to my previous 1 star review

Thank you to All-Star Telescope for reaching out to Tumble Bee on my behalf regarding my failed unit. Tumble Bee did send me a replacement base under warranty in a timely manner. In the mean time I had been in contact with another Tumble Bee distributor. They informed me they have had great success with these tumblers and can only recall 4 failures in 400 units, so this is encouraging. Rock on and clear skies 🙂

I wasted my money so you don't have to

Very disappointed! The Tumble Bee worked great for 5 weeks minus a day then the motor burnt out. I contacted the manufacturer (as the product is advertised as having a 1 year warranty) via e-mail and it would seem the customer support is as bad or worse than the product as they have not responded.
