        Its quite simple believe it or not. At my jewelry business we use this tumbling process all the time. We use something like this.

        But there are hundreds of tumblers on the market.

          I think the price is high for a unfinished prop. But everyone has been asking for them so I needed to carry them.

            Is there a description for the numbers on the props? Does the first number give the mm size and second mean they are close to Y series props??? Please explain.

            What grit do you recommend to get this type of finish? I guess you need to refinish them after balancing.

            The polishing pads that came with my dremel tool work pretty good to refinish.

              No offence but why would they polish a prop without finishing it first. Too many newbie's are going to buy these props and think they are ready to go.

                  funny I picked up a tumbler 3 weeks ago to finish my props and thought I was being creative! guess not!:D and the only reason I picked it up cause I hate polishing my props! it ranks right up there with sharpening/ balanceing.

                        The first number is the diameter in mm. Not sure on the second.

                              The numbering on the Grimracer Props (or ABC props) is Diameter (mm) x Pitch (mm)...

                              So, for example, the 42x55 is 42mm (1.65") in diameter with a 55mm (2.16") pitch...
