Template:Abrasive media in the metalworking room

This template explains how we manage the abrasive media we supply for various tools in the metalworking room.

Abrasive media

The fablab has various kinds of abrasive media, primarily used in the Large Finishing Tumbler, Small Tumbler, Sandblasting Cabinet (large), Sandblasting Cabinet (small) and the Global Max 1508 Waterjet System.

We get this by the pallet and the bags are usually either stored on their pallet or on a shelf next to the sandblaster. The media can also be used in the Sandblasting Cabinet (large)/Sandblasting Cabinet (small). It's possible it could also be used in the tumblers.

Sandblasting media

See Template:Sandblasting#Replacing blasting media for how to replace this in the tools.

We have some sandblasting media in red boxes in the shelf under the sandblasters:

• crushed glass
• wallnut shell

Baking soda is a milder alternative. We don't supply it.

Tumbler media

We have abrasive media and some polishing fluids for the tumblers. They are in buckets under the work table in the Metal Grinding Room. See Instructions:Large Finishing Tumbler#Tumbling Media for more info.
