New toy for the garage....

[RIO5.0]

Scored this blast cabinet some dude was throwing out....took all of 5 minutes to get it up and running...works sweet...

The bottom tub has a cover and i just pop a 5 gallon pail of Black Beauty in there, cover it and shoot...pull that out and switch over to glass bead...works the balls....i put it upstairs in the garage....

Sweet man....

Bead Blasters are so nice. You gotta filter the bead every once and a while though, otherwise the crap get's stuck in the gun....

Nothings better than free right?

That is an awesome toy to have, there are endless amounts of applications for that thing. My buddy just blasted a couple old iron skillets I had lying around for my wife, and he also used it on an old bike frame that I had.

You suck. I think I would probably take my car compeletly apart just to blast everything.

when you get free stuff that rocks. Those valve covers would look pretty nice on my car

 

[Mustangless]

Nice find RIO Thoes things work wonders on metals but don't use them on something you plan on polishing... It'll leave pits in the metal. My dads had one for as long as I can remember. Heres what ours looks like.

Well...Since you wanna be like that, than im not gonna show you what i scored last night shopping at Sears with 200.00 in gift certs....

How much are those things new?

 

[Killer95Stang]

Awsome Rio... Can't you use walnut shells or something organic like that to be real easy on the soft metals..? Just wondering? I used the beads at my mechanics shop to bead blast my timing cover, valve covers, and accesory brackets.. before I had them powder coated...

i love blass beading at work. seeing a freshly glass beaded part like a timing cover looks sweet. makes me want to put clear over it to keep it looking like that
