Information

The media in the cabinet is pulverized glass beads, 100-150 grit. The part number is 3386K73 from McMaster-Carr
Do not change the media without prior approval from the Hot Metal Shop host!
Use
DO NOT POINT THE GUN AT THE GLASS!
- Ensure the vacuum is plugged into the switched outlet (top left of unit) before operating.
- Do not recycle blasting media. Only add fresh media to the hopper.
- Only use approved blasting media.
- Ensure both doors are fully secured before operation.
- Use a respirator while handling media or cleaning vacuum filter.
- Do not point gun at gloves. Use screen tray for parts too small to safely hold.
SERIOUSLY, DO NOT POINT THE GUN AT THE GLASS!
Tips-n-Tricks
- If the gun does not seem to be performing well, try pressing it right against a piece of cardboard and blowing it until the media can be seen coming from the grill near the front of the machine; this clears the line
- Depending on the thickness of the material you're trying to remove, you're potentially in for a long time; grab a stool to sit or lean against and take breaks as bending over can really hurt the back after awhile
