    Glass bead blasting

    These bags of "30-60" glass were recycled. It is like a very fine sand. I suspect it is not the beads. I did not see these " beads versus crushed" posts before I did the job but I did consult with an aviation guy and he said that glass would be fine. But again, did not specify beads/versus...

    Glass bead blasting

    Thanks for the replies. I saw some of them when I was in town, and spoke with my supplier. He had 50 lb bags of recycled glass in stock so I grabbed a bag of the fine. The items to be cleaned are steel but one is critical (holds the wings together) and I did not want to use sand. I will report back.

    Tool bit question

    Hello all I was given a bunch of machinist tools from an estate. In the lot are these "tool bits"? Anyone know what they would be? One has wax on it like a cemented carbide lathe tool comes with. The other does not look used but probably had the wax too. There is a bend to them. The shank...

    Mill for parts auction

    With discussions here about needing parts for mills, there is a mill for auction in Owen Sound. Sounds like a lot of wear so maybe the common needed parts are already too worn. Just an FYI...
