I have a job coming up that uses .250" round 303 SS. Long parts, runs 12' in 5 min. I had 365 lengths last time and I had to really scrub them down with the pads to get all of the oil/grease off of them. This is very tedious and hurts the hands quickly.
Any little bit of leftover grease spots causes the part to not feed out correctly. They get hung up in the feed finger (rubber). Long parts with expensive material means I cannot afford to scrap a lot.
I had the employee prepping about 60-75 bars every morning for me last time and it took over an hour. Not all of the bars are 100% after 1 person hits it with the scotch brite pads either.
I feel like I should be able to attach something to a cordless drill to use like a de-barker for logs. Or any type of cordless tool for that matter. Sander maybe? I have seen cordless sanders before, but how would I go about this. Something I can feed the 12' bar through to clean up the surface prior to machining.
There has to be an easier/more efficient way.
