How big of a cabinet did you make for yourself? I've been thinking of just disassembling them once everything works/fits and sending out all of my components which are too big for my bench-mounted blaster to my favorite male-stripper (that's the message the guy leaves me here at work...bastard)

I always used WD-40 to eliminate most of the grease.

The cabinet is 36Lx25Wx40H. I just used the scrap MDF I had in the garage and thats what the sizes ended up. I lined the inside with white conveyor belting we had at work (headed for the dumpster). I had to buy the blast gun ,gloves, silicone, clamps.
You can expand your table top blaster like I did with mine years ago. We couldn't fit some parts into the cabinet so I built an extension box that just sits on top of the bench mounted cabinet. I removed the glass lid and put a fixed glass into the top box. It has worked good for years like that.

If you don't want to bead blast them, and use wire wheels in drill they look like this.(just for comparison)

Hi
I used the wire brush method as well, they came up pretty good. I also used some evil stuff from a chemical company that was a bit like oven cleaner. While washing chemical stuff off, it ran into the bearings, I was going to change them anyway. Steve

I replaced my bearings after cleaning too. Just as a personal rule, i replace all seals and bearings on any used stuff i get.

Just keeping the rust off for ya
I would just go for Simple Green and wire wheel. It should go quickly. The bearings are good so I would try and keep them in good shape to reuse.

Hey Adrian,
I'm putting in a new dishwasher so I should freak my wife out and toss one in with her some dishes! Anyone need a roomate? I'll need a place to stay after that one... Kinda like putting her on Punk'd! Last edited by DORIGTT; June 7th 2006 at 19:08. Reason: Using Adrian's real name vs screen name
