Recommend a Hydroblaster
« on: April 03, 2014, 01:39:28 pm »

Hi,

I have a few alloy things to be cleaned up including a swingarm & fork legs and no one in Bendigo hydro blasts.

Looking between north side of Melbourne and Bendigo.

Thanks

Geoff

Thanks, l picked up my frame from Trevor yesterday after they sand blasted it. His hydroblaster machine has broken down so he can't help me.

Interested in how the hydroblast comes up. I have several alloy bits and may go the motor too. There's one guy on the Sunshine Coast I've heard of who looks cool. Keen to see how your parts come out.

Does Hydro/vapour blasting use any media or just high pressure water?

And there is a fella at Jimboomba who does low pressure blasting, anyone know what the difference is?

What about glass bead or soda blasting of cast aluminium parts, triple clamps any recommendations etc?

So many options, but you've got to be careful not to damage the surface too.

Just finished cleaning up a Weslake engine. I was going to get it hydro blasted but read somewhere that boiling up in water gives good results. It does. The cases were pretty dirty with oil etc but after a quick boil and wipe down they look like new. Worked a treat!
