What is sandblasting and how does it work?
Sandblasting or abrasive blasting as it is also known is a process that involves blasting material into a surface to either make a rough surface smooth or to make a smooth surface rough. The result will depend on what surface is being sandblasted.
What is dustless blasting and how does it work?
Dustless blasting is an eco-friendly and less hazardous blasting option. This is because there is significantly less blast material used during the process. This means that there is no sand or other abrasive material left behind to clean up. Dustless blasting is also an effective way to remove dirt, rust and other contaminants from a surface.

Can you use corn cobs for sandblasting?
Corn cobs: Similar to walnut shells, corn cobs can be ground up and made to serve as another sandblasting medium. It is safe to use on delicate components and will remove grime, grease, water and coatings while leaving the underlying surface largely unscathed. Its uses also extend to polishing and deburring.
