Re: [Chevelle-List] Blast Cabinet nozzles

If you're using a siphon feed like my Skat-Blast, the nozzle size is usually based on the CFM your compressor can produce rather than the media used. I purchase my nozzles by cfm, but I can measure the opening of my current ones if you want.   http://www.72chevelle.com/jeffk/cab09.jpg   JeffK  ACES #1510 Team Chevelle Gold #72 www.72chevelle.com     ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2002 11:00 AM Subject: [Chevelle-List] Blast Cabinet nozzles Guys, I have been so far, not pleased with the performance of my blast cabinet, and I'm trying to figure out why. I have it hooked to a Craftsman 6hp compressor operating at 80 PSI.  The compressor works all my other tools just fine.  It appears I am getting a good volume of air out of the nozzle. I am going to replace the rather flimsy hose supplied that carries the media from the hopper to the gun with a piece less likely to pinch. My big question comes to nozzle sizes.  The instructions give (in bad english) just the advice to "use the proper size".  However I have no idea what this is.  The ones supplied are 3/16, 13/64, 15/64, and 17/64.  Does anybody know which ones to use with which media (glass beads, walnut shells, aluminum oxide, etc). I just think I am using the wrong size nozzles and am not getting the amount of media I need up the siphon and onto the part. Tony Gray ACES 2114 TC Gold 185 Bensalem PA
