The highest quality stainless steel produced and cut in Germany
0.047" Diameter (1.1938mm)
0.255" Length (6.477mm)
Manufactured from extremely tough 302/304 stainless steel so the pins will
last for thousands of cleanings
Package includes 2.5 pounds of reusable precision cut pins for use in
rotary or magnetic tumblersStainless steel pins never wear out and will last a
lifetime. These are perfect for use in a wet tumbler for polishing brass,
steel, aluminum, or titanium. Most commonly used for brass cartridge cleaning,
the .047" diameter prevents the pins from getting stuck side by side in flash
holes but they will pass through all flash holes one at a time. Fill your
tumbler with pins and brass but be sure to leave space to allow tumbling
action. Add clean hot water until the tumbler is nearly full. Cold water will
work just fine but hot water cleans faster. Add approximately ½ tablespoon Dawn
liquid dish detergent (or comparable brand) per 1 lb of brass. The amount of
detergent used is not critical but must be enough to ensure good suds remain at
the end of the cycle. Run until clean which is typically between 30 minutes and
2 hours. When first starting out check every 15 minutes to see if additional
cleaning is necessary. If you don?t see suds after you open your tumbler either
you are not using enough soap or the soap is breaking down from running too
long. Optional: To achieve the best possible shine add a tablespoon of Lemi
Shine dishwasher detergent powder per 1 quart of water. The active ingredient
in Lemi Shine is citric acid which dissolves zinc. Remove, rinse, and separate
the brass immediately upon stopping the tumbler. As soon as the agitation stops
the dirt will start to stick back on the brass so don?t leave it sitting idle
in dirty water. Shake dry the brass in a colander and then pour them into the
center of a large towel laid out flat. Gather the corners of the towel and roll
them around to remove as much water as possible. From there air dry them
several days on plastic trays with an occasional turn.
