Note: A good starting point for tip distance is
two inches away from the workpiece. Start out
with a low air pressure setting to avoid excess
peening and abrasive wear.
Note: Experiment with different pressures,
abrasives, tips and jets to gain practical
ON
experience.
Note: Keep the sandblasting abrasives
moisture-free, otherwise; the blast gun tip will
frequently clog.
