Abrasive blasting with a small air compressor is practical with the right equipment and patience to improve the equipment and to finish at a slower rate. As a follow-up to a previous review of the California Air Tools CAT-10020C 5CFM ultra quiet air compressor, we look at the Cyclone Manufacturing bench-top blast cabinet, make improvements, test its performance, and then make suggestions for future improvements. Using abrasive or glass bead blasting is a great way to improve the finish of a machined part by blending the tool marks through peening the surface as well as deburring.
