This is the link to a website for a collector here that brought a vaporblast set up in from Europe. The 500 triple engine in the pictures is the 500 I brought out from Kitchener a couple years ago. It was in need of a lot of finishing. The process uses water and a very fine medium at low pressure, it peens the metal but is not abrassive enough to do damage. The engine took about 3 hours in the vapor blaster. vaporblastcanada.com |

Have you seen the sand-blasting cabinet sold at TSC?
They put it on sale every few weeks for $99.00.Princess Auto has glass bead fairly cheap.Why send stuff out?
I have one with bead in it,might get another for sand.

Check out this weeks Princess Auto flyer. They have their benchtop blast cabinet on sale for $89.99 (reg price 249.00).
I just picked one up but it's still in the box (and probably will be for a while yet). It looks to be large enough for engine cases, etc. Not sure what I'll use for larger items like pipes, frame, etc.
Cheers,
N.
