Other
Important Facts:
- T206-1200-RSA will require more blasting time in your
Steel Shot Blaster
- A 5/16 Blasting Nozzle is required for Glass Bead
Blasters
- When cleaning PM Field Cases, you can use aluminum
media once all the steel shot is out of your machine and it's a good
idea to keep magnets in a plastic zip lock bag attached to the side of
your machine to pick up any steel particles as they are removed.
