Shot blasting, also known as abrasive blasting, is a process of using abrasive materials to remove surface contaminants from an object. Shot blasting machines are often used in metalworking and automotive industries to clean, polish, or prepare surfaces for further treatment.
Here are the steps to properly use a shot blasting machine:
Step 1: Safety first
Before using the shot blasting machine, ensure that you wear the proper personal protective equipment (PPE), such as goggles, gloves, earplugs, and a mask. This will protect you from exposure to flying particles and abrasive materials.
Step 2: Prepare the equipment
Check the shot blasting machine for wear and tear, and ensure that all parts are functioning properly. Fill the blast machine with the correct type and amount of abrasive material.
Step 3: Prepare the surface
