Any one having problems with the Harbor Freight models that vibrate?

Mine runs about 1 to 3 hrs then takes a break, cools down I guess, then restarts. I usually cut the switch when I leave the shop, restart again when I return. Running green triangles cleaning nuts, bolts, small parts, etc..

I have run it all day, noticed it shuts down several times(2-3) during the 6-8 hour period. Sometimes it is off more than an hour. Just wondering if I got a bad unit. Thanks, Bob

Like the 'Phoenix' rising out of ashes, I am bringing this thread back -

Got 'hooked' on these type of tumblers for small parts, does a great job. Hadn't done much 'vibratory tumbling' of parts, etc., since my last machine died about a year ago. After looking for about a year I finally picked-up another, more heavy-duty unit (Not here yet, it is on its way).

- 4 3/4 Gallon Capacity - Weight Capacity 57 lbs;
- Mass creates a cyclonic effect, Material moves around the bowl and down the center;
- Cap is easily removed so that you can see it work
- 1/20 hp 115 Volt Ball Bearing Motor, 1.6 Amps, Thermally protected;
- Vibrates at 3000 VPM;
- Dimensions are 17" diameter x 18" high

Re: Harbor Freight. If it is the typical cheap Chinese made trash, you shouldn't be surprised it doesn't work as well as you expect. You got what you paid for......
