So I started my brass tumbler this morning (vibratory kind) when I got up and completely forgot about it.
That was 6 hours ago and I am at work, I am guessing it shouldn't be a problem but I won't be home for a few more hours.
Just wondering if I should be worried that the thing will burn down my house?
I'll probably just come home to really shinny brass but just has me a little worried.

Leave my Lyman on overnight all the time.

I have a Midway one, over 15 years old and I leave it running at night all the time.

I prefer on a timer. And to be around at all times when utilities are running.
I bet you will have the prettiest brass ever.

I leave my midway on over night all the time. It's in the garage, so hopefully it is safe????

Apparently there was a product recall on Midway vibratory tumblers due to the motor overheating leading to fires. Since learning of that, I run my tumbler on the concrete floor of my garage. I have forgotten about it and let it run all night, I now run it with a timer.

My wife is absolutely phobic about leaving anything on when leaving the house, she will shut of the coffee maker to go water her flowers!

I have forgotten about it and let it run all night, I now run it with a timer. Mine was recalled many years ago & I think they may have just replaced the cord, but it may have been the motor, too. I ran it for hours straight, or overnight, before and after the recall, but never on any surface that would catch fire.

Mine is a Midway, at least 14 tears old. Generally let it run for 3 or 4 hours but often times CRS sets in and I find it still running on Sunday morning and it was turned on Thursday afternoon. Yup, Ray Charles would have to squint . . . well, ya know, if he . . .
Someday I hope to be the person my dogs think I am . . .
