====Operation====
The blast cabinet contains tiny glass beads in the bottom. There is a large wire mesh that divides the upper and lower sections of the cabinet. The foot pedal is connected to compressed air and controls the flow of air going to the nozzle assembly. The air passing through the nozzle creates a vacuum and draws the glass beads in the bottom of the machine up into the air stream in the nozzle. The glass beads are rapidly accelerated into the part you are bead blasting. The beads fall back into the bottom of the cabinet and are recycled through the system.

The machine requires 80-125 psi.  The glass beads are rapidly accelerated into the part you are bead blasting.
