− | Not currently set up.
| + | The cabinet is located behind the curtain near the Temporary Project Area. It acts as a barrier for welding station: two |
| + | |
| + | == Interior Dimensions == |
| + | 58" wide, 28" deep, 34-1/2" high |
| + | |
| + | == Media == |
| + | These are the types of media available to use: |
| + | * Soda (Very fine) |
| + | * Pulverized glass (medium) |
| + | * Walnut shells (rough) |
| + | * Aluminum Oxide (really rough) |
| + | |
| + | If you are authorized to use the cabinet, you may change the media to fit your needs. The procedure is as follows: |
| + | === Media changing procedures === |
| + | <span style="color:red">'''''Warning! Remove watches or jewelry you don't want to get scratched up! Also, absolutely wear a respirator to avoid breathing in any of the media!'''''</span> |
| + | |
| + | # Check the sticker on the front of the cabinet to see what media is loaded. If it's not what you need, proceed to step 2. |
| + | # Make sure the bucket labeled with the same media as what's in the cabinet is empty, clean and dry. |
| + | # Place the bucket under the hopper at the bottom of the cabinet. |
| + | # Pull down on the door, it's on a heavy spring and will snap back, you have to hold it. The media will fall into the bucket. |
| + | # Make sure the cabinet is free as possible of the old media, mixing and matching media is a no-no. |
| + | # Remove the bucket from under the cabinet. ''It will be quite heavy.'' |
| + | # Put the lid on the bucket! |
| + | # Find the bucket of media you want to use, open doors to the cabinet and pour the contents into the cabinet via the grate. |
| + | # '''''Label what media is currently loaded, the date, and who loaded it.''''' |
| + | # Check the floor and clean up any spilled media. This stuff can be ''very'' slippery, and the person most likely to fall will be you. |
| + | # Enjoy! |
| + | |
| + | == 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 |
| + | |
| + | == Gun Setup, Parts, and Troubleshooting == |
| + | The '''Blasting Cabinet''' bin on the bottom shelf contains new interior glass (really rolled plastic), new gloves, and gun tips |
