Vapor blasting
« on: November 13, 2018, 10:40:26 AM »
I get email updates of new products from some of my favorite vendors.  Dime City Cycles sent me this link for a micro sized vapor blaster.

I did a bunch of internet research on wet vs. dry blasting, and wet definitely seems superior to dry.  It is interesting in how many of the YouTube videos, the sample pieces being cleaned are motorcycle parts.  In any event this home/hobbyist tool looks pretty good.  However even as a hobbyist tool, its a bit pricey.

I know that Olaf has farmed out some parts for vapor blasting.  I don't believe it was local. 

Query: anyone know of someone doing this locally? 

The same manufacturer (Vapor Honing Technologies), makes many bigger and better versions, with the price and features increasing proportionally.

I have taken the dive of a couple of tools that were above basic hobbyist entry level: my JD Squared tubing bender and my Millermatic welder.  It tempting to take the plunge on a more serious level vapor blaster.  Not that I have the space or anything ....

Peace & getting rid of grease, Dennis
