May 9, 2022 Barn Find Benelli 750 SEI 6 cylinder!!

I did an initial clean up on a spare sei cam cover.
The vaporhoner certainly does a nice job.

That sure makes a nice finish. I put a handful of bolts in the Thumbler Tumbler thinking it would quickly remove the light rust and old cad plating. Apparently I ordered a media that's too fine. I'll order some coarse and see what happens.
Do you have any way to clean bolts in the vapor blaster?

[Lotus54]

So far, best way I’ve found is to put the bolts in one of those magnetic trays. Then hold each bolt/nut with hemostats.
Sort of clunky, but I have not lost any yet.

I’ve seen where the are put in a ‘cage’ and tumbled with the blast then going into the cage. I have not tried that.
I use pretty fine media, but it certainly works well with the vaporhoner.

I wonder if a screen in two halves that could be clamped together- holding the parts? May just have to reposition parts once. Have to think on that one.

I do have a perforated cylinder for the media blaster that's made for blasting small parts. It works well but the vibratory tumble should do the job by itself if I get the correct media. Some of the small parts are stainless steel so magnets wouldn't work there.
