Glossary
A tumbling trimmer rotates flower inside a drum to remove leaf. Blade versions cut with an internal reel against a screen. Bladeless versions rely on agitation and screen contact alone.
Tumblers dominate commercial trim rooms, but the two sub-types behave differently: blade tumblers cut cleaner but scar more when misused; bladeless tumblers are gentler but need more dwell to finish a bud.
