You could but I wouldn't recommend it. The Lot O Tumbler works a lot like the vibratory tumblers so the coarse grit might work too quickly and harm your barrel. We hear of people doing a coarse step in their rotary tumbler to break the rocks down and smooth them out and then jumping to the Lot O Tumbler. Otherwise it's powerful enough that you could skip the coarse step entirely and start with the medium in the Lot O.

Question asked: What do recommend for the first step on a rotary disc for large slabs. I can’t seem to find any 60, 80 or 100 grit powder for making a slurry.

We'd need more information about what machine you have and what you are doing. But this is 80 grit for making a slurry. One thing to keep in mind that coarser grit will also wear down your pan.
