Media Blasting

[nikpro]

After some recomendations on Media Blasting set-ups.

Believe that aqua blasting is best for cleaning degreasing aluminium/cast parts.

(Cylinder heads will be the largest parts considered.)

I also understand that they use a hell of a lot of air to feed them!

Have been told these are good and more efficient than running a compressor:

has anyone any other reccomendations for equipment/set-up costs?

Thanks

I have one of these

Got it from one of the shows along with a bucket of grit.  Then built my own cabinet from scrap MDF a pair of rubber gloves from ebay and a perspex window.  Total outlay of about £50.

Only downside was that my 25ltr compressor wasn't really up to the job as I kept having to wait for it to catch up.  So It gave me a good excuse to buy a mother of a compressor.

All in all it does a pretty good job and I've been pleased with the results
