Hey fellas,
With the possibility of a new project on the horizon and some new garage space looking to be filled up with something I am thinking I might invest in some sort of blasting cabinet. I have heard of glass beading, sand, soda and vapour blasting. Wondering if anyone has any advice as to what you use and why?
Thanks as always.

I don't have a blaster. I bought a 20 litre ultrasonic cleaner a few years ago off of ebay. I can fit some pretty big parts in there. I use a strong pinesol mix, it does a nice job on just about anything I put in it.

I have a small box I got from TSC. Was a decent price, and altough it has quirks I can still do a good job on stuff if I'm patient. It has the glove holes and a FL light that is nearly entirely useless now, as the more you use the cabinet the more it blasts everything inside. I also stopped using the metal grid for a base inside as the hose continually would stop pulling material through so I would just handle the pile of sand/glass by hand to try and keep a flow going. The seal also sucked as I added some foam and duct tape around it to help seal. That plus I also jam a rag in the seal to prevent sand from blowing past into my face lol. I have to sit pretty close. All that being said, it really does work. Depending on what you are working on is what you chose your particulate on. Think if it like like sand paper. Glass beads are light, where walnut and rough black sand is aggressive. Glass works nice on aluminum. That's what I used on my 640 engine parts.   |
