cabinet media...
now that it's fall.... time to change the compressor oil, check/change the belt and replace the blast media.
Would like some feed back as I might try the TP MAX media, looking for lower dust and the new improved formula claims to be. Any input would be great and thanks in advance. |

Re: cabinet media...
In my ScatBlast cabinet I have had for well over 30 years I use #80 garnet for removing paint and rust and glass beads for softer metals. I can dump the hopper and switch fairly quickly and blow the remaining dust into the vacuum system before changing media. After wearing out many of the ceramic nozzles I got a hardened steel one and it has been in there years. Many of the wear items like gloves, lights, windows, vacuum motors and bags I have changed countless times. I now use the peel off sheets on the inside of the glass which makes the window last so much longer.

Re: cabinet media...
If you look at the TP Max review the author thought that the product broke down too soon and then became very dusty. I use Black Beauty that I can get at the local big box store but it can be pretty aggressive. I always keep some that has been used so its not over kill for softer metals.
