Nope, it's the WT550 (you have to turn it by hand).The WT650!
I started wet tumbling 4 years ago. AND HAVEN'T LOOKED BACK.
I think the key is the correct amount of citric acid (lemi shine).I will also add that I don't get the "jewelry grade" shinny that some of you do with the wet process. I must be doing something wrong.
This is only safe if you're not using any Lemishine or or other source of citric acid in your solution. The acid will leach the zinc out of the brass if given time to work, weakening the cases and giving them a pinkish appearance. It's best to use as little Lemishine as it takes to get good results, only tumble for as long as it takes to get good results, and rinse the cases thoroughly as soon as they are done to neutralize the acid. Once rinsed they can dry at any pace, but if there's any acid left in the water droplets they will form brown tarnish spots before they dry.I've not experimented with leaving cases in the wet tumbling solution after the tumbling cycle has complete but I do feel any adverse affects, primarily tarnish spots, would kick in fairly quickly. So, when I wet tumble, I have to set aside a couple hours to be able to completely process the cases through the tumbling cycle.
Obviously there are a LOT of us who prefer the gorgeous, clean, polished, shiny, pretty-pretty-pretty, new-looking brass.... Sounds like a lot of trouble just to have shinier brass. Who cares??? ...

By looking at that pic (expanded view) I cannot determine whether or not that unit is any less fragile than my RCBS separator.I like the look of that media separator. Tired of getting ripped off by the junk being sold by RCBS and Frankort
