It's easy to control the abrasion through the type of media used. It also does it evenly or uniformly, unlike any wheel that will leave traces. Has anyone tried this process yet?

Do you think a tumbler with walnut stuff, which is used to polishing cartridge-shells, could be used for polishing gun parts as well?
