I do alot of brake parts for atvs so somthing that can get into the nooks and cranys would be great. Do any of you use tublers? if so could you give some specs on them? What do you guys think is the best way to do paint stripping? should I just bead blast? Any input would be great!!!
Thanks and have a great day!!!
well not everyone does the same kind of parts or work with the same tools ,
but i think a 1/4 inch angle die grinder is very useful and if you can make or have someone do some adapters you can use it with cartrigre rolls , buffing wheels ( 3 inches and smaller) sanding pads and more.
stripping paint : sometimes easier and faster just to blast and sometimes i use paint stripper .
