At the last conference I attended, I too was convinced that a tumbler  
is the best method of cleaning steel. The guys I spoke to recommended  
a water heater tank with blades welded into it, but I like the idea of  
a square tumbler.

The one thing that everyone recommended was to attach a vacuum to one  
end and punch a couple of holes in the other end, to clear out the  
inevitable oily soot from tossing steel. Thoughts?

Also, any thoughts about a good tumbling medium for steel?
