* Shotblasting

Posted on March 13th, 2009 by ploughmyfield. Filed under TE-F20 Rebuild.


Whilst down in Derby at my office there I saw a sign for shot blasting. The next time I went down I took the Exhaust manifold with me. It is very rusted and I thought it would take ages with the brush on the angle grinder to get down to bare metal.

The hight temperature paint needs to stick to the bare metal.

So I found a person who loves his job. Unfortunately I forgot to ask the gentleman’s name. He says its great doing the sandblasting as he can escape into his own little world with his ventilated helmet  and a high powered light to see the work by.  I’m sure I’ll be back to get some more stuff done, like the back wheels as they where very reasonable. The room looked big enough to put a hole tractor in.

The results speak for themselves and the part looks fantastic.
