Lyman tumbler question

[chris in va]

I have a used Lyman 600 with the small bowl. Will the bigger bowl from the 1200 fit it? Looking for more capacity.

Even if it fits. Power is limited by 600 motor.

I think the base is the same.

Outside dimensions of the base may well be the same. The motor may not.

This page https://www.lymanproducts.com/1200-turbo-tumbler-replacement-part shows different part numbers for versions of the 600, 1200 and 2500 by voltage.

If you overload a smaller motor, you risk burning it up

My 600 is over 20 years old. The one blade weight on the motor came off. It quit vibrating. I cut the case open and re-attached the blade weight and put the case back together. I wore the bowl out(holes)and put a larger bowl on it with no problems. I have polished 100's of lbs. of homemade #8 shot in it(a few lbs. at the time). Now it may outlast me,

It failed after just 20 years?? Wow, you got ripped off

I'm thinking it might be time to just buy a new 1200. Just sayin'.
