Featuring a slow 20 RPM rotation for gentle yet effective tumbling, a corrosion-resistant stainless steel drum, and a large 17 lb capacity, it handles bigger batches and larger stones with ease. Its rubber-lined barrel minimizes noise and protects materials, while the industrial-strength build ensures long-lasting durability. Backed by a 3-year warranty on key components, this tumbler delivers professional-quality results in home or studio settings. ## Description The Extreme Tumblers Rebel 17 Rotary Rock Tumbler is built for serious lapidary enthusiasts who demand commercial-grade performance. With a 17-pound capacity, this heavy-duty machine handles large batches of rough stones, agates, jasper, quartz, and other materials with ease. The consistent 40 RPM drum rotation creates smooth, even polishing cycles that transform raw rock into brilliantly finished pieces. A thick rubber-lined barrel reduces operational noise while protecting stones during abrasive grit stages, making it ideal for home workshops or studio environments. The matte black powder-coated steel base, heavy-duty rods, and precision ball bearings are engineered to withstand continuous tumbling and abrasive compounds without compromise. Powered by a 115V 1/30 HP fan-cooled motor with overload protection, the Rebel 17 delivers reliable, long-lasting lapidary performance. Backed by a 3-year warranty on the barrel and liner and a 1-year limited motor warranty, this rotary rock tumbler is built to polish batch after batch with confidence. Review: Upgrade From Thumler's Tumbler Model B - I currently have 5 rock tumblers, and this is the best one. It is large, quiet and made from quality parts. It is clearly a copy of a Thumler's Tumbler Model B (not a bad thing) with some quality upgrades, offered at a lower price. I had never heard of this brand and neither had anyone in my rockhounding club. Similar to Thumler's, you cannot buy from them directly and must utilize a 3rd party, but they appear to be a legit if not low-key company. On this Rebel model made by Xtreme, the nuts used to secure the lid were upgraded from pressed wing nuts and washers (used on a Model B) to single nuts encased in plastic that are easier to finger tighten. The axles and bearings also appear to be higher grade steel and are more robust. There does not appear to be many other differences. In fact, this Rebel model and the Model B are so similar they even use the same drive belts. FYI assembly is required for the Rebel. You will need to mount the motor to the tumbler base. Oddly, the motor only uses 3 mounting points but has four threaded posts and the written instructions do not mention the four posts at all. I am guessing Xtreme just bought generic Chinese motors that were not made specifically for their tumbler but fit their purpose. I don't see many other ways the motor can be mounted so I do not think it was to provide more mounting options. Good tumbler overall will probably buy another one. Review: A slow tumble is good, not bad - My new Rebel17 arrived yesterday and I have not yet started filling it for my next run. Before doing so I want to comment on the mistaken idea several reviewers have that this machine tumbles too slow. Au contraire, the slower speed is why I acquired it as the slow speed gives rocks some protection from bruising, fractures, and unwanted chipping as they bang up against each other throughout the tumbling process. Fast tumbled rocks are more likely to crack or break as they hit each other than those going through a slower and gentler sliding grind. We want to polish them, not punish them. I've only been tumbling rocks for 7 years and don't have the experience of some of the veterans who post videos filled with instructive information on sites like YouTube, but have tumbled enough rocks through the 5 tumblers I own to know what works better and best and what can be improved. My first 2 tumblers purchased were / are National Geo. They have functioned reliably and have produced some beautiful specimens, but even in their smaller capacity there have been rocks damaged in the process from time to time. Always a disappointment to find damaged rocks in your barrel when they've been tumbling a week. I also have a Lortone that gives satisfaction but it too tumbles on the fast side. The 3 tumblers hold 1.5, 2 to 3 pounds of rocks but I find many larger rocks showing hints of color and patterns too big for a smaller barrel. The desire to find and polish rocks can drive a budding rock hound to spend more and more time hunting, collecting, and polishing them. Most especially when one is retired, has the time, and lives in Colorado where intriguing rocks can be found even in one's own back yard. So many rocks! To process them more quickly I acquired a Thumler Model B with a large capacity barrel that has room for larger rocks. It too rotates fast but other than breaking 2 drive belts in 3 years of use it has been reliable. Two years ago I acquired the 5th tumbler, a Tumble Vibe vibrating tumbler that holds 10 pounds of rock. It is not - I repeat - not intended or designed to run or shape rocks through stage 1. Doing so risks damaging your barrel. Vibratory tumblers do process rocks faster in stages 2 through 4. A load of rocks properly and well prepared in a rotating tumbler in stage 1 will go through stages 2, 3, and 4 in a vibratory tumbler in less than 2 weeks. However there are design issues complicating the use of a vibrating system, so be aware of possible complications if you are thinking of acquiring one. For ease of use and the advertised slower speed I decided to purchase the Rebel 17 and look forward to seeing the inner beauty revealed in the larger rocks that found their way home with me. You know how that is ... And as an aside, a final thought on the question ''can God make a rock too heavy for God to lift?'' Apart from the absurdity of the question, consider God is not limited to being the singular lifter of said rock, but the lifting action that moves it. If God were a part of speech, God is more Verb than Noun. ## Features - 20 RPM Precision Rotation: Engineered with a slower 20 RPM drum speed ideal for rock polishing and lapidary work, allowing stones to tumble properly for smoother edges and more consistent finishing results. - Stainless Steel Construction: Built with stainless steel components for corrosion resistance and long-term durability, giving this rotary rock tumbler the strength to handle abrasive grit and repeated polishing cycles. - Large 17 lb Capacity: Commercial-grade 17 pound drum handles larger batches of rocks, stones, and jewelry pieces, increasing efficiency for serious hobbyists and professional lapidary use. - Rubber Lined Drum: Heavy-duty rubber lining reduces operational noise and cushions stones during tumbling, protecting materials while improving comfort in workshops and studio environments. - Industrial Strength Build: Matte black powder-coated base, heavy-duty rods, and ball bearings support stable rotation under load.

For the level of quality this tumbler offers - the price is worth it. Especially if you can get it on sale (I got lucky with this). It is a little bit loud, but if you have a space to put it (like the garage, separate room, or even a closet)- it's not terrible. This thing is built like a tank, although, some of the black covering does rub off a bit as it tumbles on the exterior of the tumbler. It is kind of heavy- but honestly makes a huge difference on polishing and tumbling rocks compared to other tumblers I've used. It's seamless to use one you have everything locked into place. ## Frequently Bought Together - Rebel 17 Rock Tumbler - Polly Plastics Rock Tumbler Grit and Polish Refill & Ceramic Tumbling Filler Media - Silicone Carbide Polisher Grit - Rock Polish Supplies & Accessories - 5 LBS 5/16" x 5/8" Large Ceramic Media for Rock Tumbling – Ceramic Tumbling Media for Rock Polisher, Use with Rock Tumbler Grit, Protects Rocks, Reusable, Rock Tumbling Supplies(8mm x 16 mm) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/434489084-rebel-17-rotary-rock-tumbler-17-lb-commercial-grade-rock](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/434489084-rebel-17-rotary-rock-tumbler-17-lb-commercial-grade-rock) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-06-05*
