Shot blasting provides a nice finish for the cast iron casting I pour and sell
Until I recently built my own heat treat oven, I was getting the castings shot blasted as part of the heat treat process. Now that I am doing my own heat treat, I am considering setting up to shot blast the casting. I have a blast cabinet and large vintage USA-made compressor.
So what media size should I use and what brand/style gun?l
The castings range from 5 pounds to 50 pounds. I would be blasting about ten per month.
