English term or phrase: a thumbler
Witam,

tłumaczę instrukcję stosowania glinki miedzi. W sekcji "obróbka końcowa" natrafiłem na takie zdanie dotyczące polerowania:

Polish the piece with a burnisher, polishing papers,
a thumbler or polishing motor.

Nie potrafię znaleźć znaczenia 'thumbler' - czy jest to błąd ortograficzny i chodzi o 'tumbler' - oczyszczarką bębnową?

Z góry dziękuję za pomoc,

Explanation:
Tumbling
A tumbler is a mechanical device in which hundreds of steel balls and rods cascade against jewellery objects as they rotate in a drum like a miniature clothes dryer. The advantages are that many pieces can be finished at once and that individual handling is minimal. For this reason, tumbling is often the choice of production artists.

Dla jednoosobowej pracowni zajmującej się małą produkcją i naprawami idealnym rozwiązaniem jest polerka bębnowa. Wsad najlepiej mieszany, kulki stal nierdzewna w ilości 70% różnej średnicy, pozostała część to satelitki i tak zwany ryż.
