Hi Scott,
We have a Vapor Blast machine and we are quite happy with the finish
it provides and the manpower it saves. We use a crushed glass media
that is between an 80 - 120 mesh size. It is similar in consistency to a baking soda.
It provides a uniform, frosted glass like, finish with out taking off too much material (it takes
off very little in fact).
Of course we make small electrical components... if your parts are larger in size
you may want to use a more course / or different type of media.
If your interested, here is the address for the company.

Dear RPML,
I am looking for a new Bead Blaster, we have a 250/50
and would use it for our part finishing.
If you have any sources or advice, I would appreciate it.
such as what bead size, and type would work for a standard
finish.
Thank you in advance!
Scott
