Ultrasonic cleaner

[Sniper308]

What machine and product is best to use? Im currently just using media, however I’m thinking of moving across to wet cleaning. Is it worth the investment?

A decent performing ultrasonic bath is going to be many times the cost of a wet tumbler with stainless media.

This is good.
Does the job in a tenth (Or less) of the time tumblers take.
There’s 100 x 222 cases in there and room for another 100.
Only down side, it’s a bit noisy. £100.

What are the dimensions of the bath in this? I need one thats about 25 - 30 cm as Im considering getting one in the future to clean my moderators, brass and other things.

Out right now but will measure tomorrow.
I once put one of the Parker Hale 22 rf mods in a sonic cleaner, went in black and came out pale grey.

Depends on what coating you have on it and what fluid you use i guess. But damn thats unlucky.

I have both an ultrasonic and tumbler.
Ultrasonic cleans better...
Got them 20 years ago and only use the ultrasonic....

For the last ten odd years I have been using a Lyman Turbo Sonic 2.5lt cleaner. After de-priming my brass I give the primer pockets a clean with a RCBS primer brush and then they go into the cleaner. Fifteen minutes later they come out looking like new brass,

That one looks just like my Crewe Works one that I paid £100 for!

This has been discussed a lot over the years and I’ve just done a search for Ultrasonic by fizzbangwhallop which brings up quite a lot of the threads I, and many others including the late great Alantoo, have contributed to. Theres a lot of good info in those threads…. and worth a read.

I’m still using the 6litre with the degaussing feature, rainwater out of the butt, 2 pickled onion jars, citric acid, fairy and rinshine… and the Lakeland food dehydrator. The U/S was also very useful when getting the bike back on the road although I wished I’d bought a 7 litre version at times.

Hi,
Mine’s too small for your job.
21 x 11 x 9cm deep.
Cheers, Ken.
