Question for all of you ball tumblers......Isn't it cheaper to just
buy new balls at $1 each? If this machine is running for 3+ days,
isn't the power consumption + materials needed more costly than new
balls?

Yes, I found I have to let them go at least 3 days to get a mirror
finish but the results have been amazing. I will have to try following
up with the corncob, that makes perfect sense!

The new balls aren't as shiny in most cases as the ones you tumble. I
tumble brand new balls, too.

ditto. new balls aren't nearly as shiny as what comes out of the tumbler.

So, you are using corncob only? I dont want to bother with the extra
time/work/cost of the walnut if it isnt necessary.

Brand new balls in corncob. Used balls in walnut then corncob. I have
2 tumblers with the media in both for ease of transfer.

I typically use corncob + flitz for everything.

Considering that mirror finish balls are about $2-3 per and I run
15-20 used balls at a time in the tumbler, then their should be a
considerable cost savings vs buying them new. I have had great success
with used balls polishing up to a really nice mirror finish. You can
chuck the $1 new balls in and they look fantastic as well. I just keep
swapping polished balls in on every machine, then when I have 15 or so
I pop them in the tumbler for 3-4 days, then rotate those in.
