Vapor Vapour Wet Agua Blasting....
sandblaster:
I'll be learning the ins and outs for a while yet but this machine is already showing promise.
Brute:
Looks great!!! Talk about shipping... Ordered some new pipes for the wife's ZX14R. They came in rubbing together in the box so of course there was a couple dents. Was negotiating with them for how much they would give me back when I realized the pipes were for the wrong year. Sent them back.
New set came in with expanding pour foam all around them and their plastic bags. Not only could they not touch I had a bit of a time getting them out! Would rather have that though!
Trying to think of what I need blasted. How abrasive is it? Or I should ask, how much material does it remove?
sandblaster:
As near as I can tell it does not remove anything.
Everything I have read about the process states that it peens the surface metal but does remove anything.
This process was developed originally in WWII for rebuilding soft metal air craft parts so it works great on aluminum, magnesium, brass, bronze, and copper but also works well on stainless steel and titanium.
If you need something done Brute, degrease it first and remove any plastics or glass.
Here is a link to some of the applications:

Foxx4Beaver:
jeeze, that PWK looks brand new!
sandblaster:
Some alloys of aluminum clean better then others or are more shiny.
Also, I need to experiment with different blast pressure and media type.
But so far I'm pretty happy with the results.
