Default Re: NEED TO CLEAN MY ALUMINIUM INTAKE

Talked to a guy locally a couple weeks ago about tumbling large parts. Not really interested in buying one at this time, but I would have access to it whenever.

Would definitely like to do some experimenting if nothing else.

Ram Air Dave, I had/have opportunity to buy a USED 6.5 sq ft (DeBuring,Vibrator) here in Seattle for $1500 or less.

My research shows that the neccessary 450# of media is pretty spendy (as much or more than machine). I dont have room to set this up, and really dont have time to start a "business" doing other people's stuff..........

I'll be VERY interested to read what specific kind of media, your local guy is using, as there are many types.

I;m thinking that aluminum media might be better on aluminum castings, but not really sure. Most shops use cermaic media. My brief experience showed it didnt very long(parts time in the machine) to achieve good results. Machine I used (years ago) had a water based detergent, but some operators use misc solvents.

BTW, Very sure this is what J.M. uses in part to "reskin" parts.........

Please let us know what you experience and your estimated charges, IF you decide to run customer parts ???
