Basics
- Part of the Open Source Finishing Construction Set
- A device that propels some sort of abrasive material such as sand, via compressed air, onto an object in order to wear it down for either post processing of metal/plastic parts or for restoration of tools (such as rusty tools)
Used For
- Finishing/post processing --> Well finished industrial quality parts
- Restoration of tools and parts for effective reuse of many more tools and parts (Such as rust hand tools)
- Building Restoration
- Businesses based on the use cases mentioned above
