To accompany this will be a dry blast unit .
This will enable us to bring a lot of expensive metal prep "in house" .
If you are planning to have any wetblast,dryblast,carb restoration etc please bear us in mind.

Is there any chance at all that you could move your workshop quite a bit closer to me on the Isle of Wight?
Pretty please?

I was considering investing in a similar set up to that.
Good luck with it fella!

Nice cabinet what particulates is it able to cope with?
I first discovered vapour blasting 40 years ago as a process for cleaning parts of plastics injection mould tools, cores, plattens, extrusion screws etc, etc.
At the time I was building an Ariel Red Hunter, and used the vapour blaster to prep all the alloy parts. I still have that bike, and the alloy still looks fresh today.
Now, Mikey, you have mentioned before, as have others, the extra washing required in order to ensure oilways etc are REALLY clean and free from glass beads/media.
I have used ultrasonic cleaning in order to achieve this.
What is your plan for the additional washing stage(s)?

Once I have got over the shock of paying for this little lot ,I'll be looking to get a good size and quality ultrasonic tank,
At the moment we use a combination of paraffin washing and high pressure steam cleaning which is very effective on the components we currently have blasted.
Personally I've never felt the need for an ultrasonic tank before but it's a handy addition to any workshop and will add another service that we can provide
it always amazed me how any beads would be in the bottom of the ultrasonic tank after I'd put parts in that had been scrubbed and appeared to be spotless.
That looks to be a very nice vapour machine

Nice job Mike, all you need is a full time operator to maximise the return on the investment...... When can we exoect to see you Ride Report on The Vince..... Not holding my breath or have you left that to Andy or Tufty?
Mike has been looking at the latest safety equipment for using these new machines.
