A rock tumbler is a device to brake down large boulders into smaller gravel. It is a drum that rotates and often has divets or bumps to smash the larger rocks.
The tumbler doesn't go anywhere. How far the tumbler's barrel will spin depends upon how fast it's rotating and how big it is.
It is not recommended to use diamond dust in a rock tumbler as it is extremely hard and could damage the tumbler's barrel or other materials being tumbled. It is best to use softer abrasives such as sand, silicon carbide, or aluminum oxide in rock tumblers.
