Anyone who has tried to dump a bowl full of brass and media while the motor base is still attached knows the drill: media everywhere, brass scattered across the bench, and a mess you did not sign up for. Berry's built the QD-500 to put an end to that. Its patented quick-detach system lets you lift the whole bowl off the base in seconds, so you can empty brass and media straight into your separator without hoisting the entire tumbler over a container.
The cam-lock is the heart of this design. One quick flip and the bowl releases from the base, and the same lock snaps it back down tight so there is no wobble or loose operation while it runs. If you keep extra bowls on hand, you can swap batches almost instantly, which is handy when you are jumping from walnut to corn cob media or just lining up your next load of brass. The large, smooth interior keeps brass and media moving steadily for a thorough clean.
This is a dry tumbler, so load it up with whatever media you like, whether that is corn cob, walnut, or stainless. Add your brass, a shot of polish, close the lid, and let it work. The clear domed polycarbonate lid lets you watch your brass brighten up without shutting the motor off to check. Depending on how full the bowl is, a typical batch runs somewhere in the two to three hour range, and it chews through oxidation, sizing lube, dirt, and carbon fouling that dulls your brass and hurts consistency.
Berry's stands behind this one. The motor carries a 3-year warranty, and the bowl, lid, and remaining parts are covered by a lifetime warranty. It is proudly made in the USA, and separate bowls are available if you want to expand your setup for faster media changes.
The big difference is the patented quick-detach bowl. A single flip of the cam-lock lets you pop the bowl off the base so you can pour brass and media into a separator without lifting and inverting the whole tumbler. That one feature cuts down on spills and makes cleanup a lot less of a chore.
No, this model is the tumbler itself with one detachable bowl and lid. You will need to add your own cleaning media, such as corn cob or walnut, along with a brass polish. If you want a full setup, Berry's also offers a kit version that includes media, polish, and a separator.
The QD-500 is built for dry tumbling. You run it with dry media like corn cob, walnut, or stainless pins along with a polish. For a typical load, expect cleaning to take somewhere in the two to three hour range depending on how full the bowl is.
Yes, separate bowls are available and that is really where this tumbler shines. Keeping a spare bowl lets you switch instantly between media types or line up your next batch of brass without emptying the first one. The cam-lock makes the swap take just seconds.
