Bought a sandblast cabinet a few days ago...I assembled it yesterday and in the process found a few screws missing, luckly I have a pretty good stock of hardware here at work.
now the good part....I drive my happy ass 50+ miles into work today to test the cabinet and blast clean a set of trailing arms and a few pair of front a-arms.... Guess what...the damn thing does not work (IMG:style_emoticons/default/fighting19.gif) I take apart the nozzle and some dumb shit forgot to drill the passage way for the media to get sucked up via the venturi....can you believe this??? Now I have to wait for my darn Makita to charge since a co-worker used it and didn't put the battery back on the charger after draining the damn thing..... Hopefully I can get this thing drilled and fixed before Jon Watts makes it up here....he won't be a happy camper either |

Got it working (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)
It works good, but I thought the 70grit aluminum oxide would remove the paint and rust a little faster than it is. Oh well, it beats paying a minimum charge of $55 per lot had I taken the parts to a sandblaster. |

It takes a while to blast control arms, front OR rear. Porsche put some VERY durable paint on those bad boys.

Yeah.. they called it "Powdercoating"
If you add up your time/electricity/and cost of abrasive... 55$ is cheap. B << has blast cabinet not hooked up. |

I didn't realize that the factory powder coated them. But I've blasted that I KNEW were powder coated before, and that would certainly explain why the're such a bitch to do.
