Default Neat tool for cleaning off rust.

A guy brought in a starter to me today for a rebuild, and it had all
the paint removed, and was really, I mean, REALLY clean. No chemical
used, nor sand blasted.

I wondered what he did to clean the core so well, and not put it in a
tumbler, or use chemicals or sand . the metal was very nice.

He said he used a "pneumatic Jet chisel", He uses it to take heavy
paint off of engine blocks on antique tractors and cars he restores. he
said it takes the thick paint and rust off with ease.

I'd heard fo them but never did see one used, or their finished
product. he said it beats using a wire wheel, in a drill, and it
doesn't jerk and fly around. After seeing his finish product before
prime and paint, I was really impressed.

There are different makes and types. He says he got an attachment to
put in a typical air chisel, but you can get a dedicated tool as well.

The boat I bought, the trailer is quite rusty, and it's going to get
stripped , primed and painted this winter, and I really wasn't wanting
to use paint stripper, and the ideal of dancing with a drill wheel
isn't my idea of fun, so I'm going to order an air chisel, that is, if
I can't find one locally.

Anyone, ever use one?

comments?

Thanks!



That looks interesting, I normally use a sandblaster for that sort of
thing, but it's a bit messy and some things you have to be careful not
to leave leftover sand in.

for what I gave for this rig, it could be made out of wood, and I'd
still have a deal.

exactly, but it should look like a nice traier, instead of something
brought up from the deck of the Bismark.. ?:



It should look like an ALUMINUM trailer, then all this wouldn't be
necessary....(c;

I agree. And, I do.
