Paul,

> Have you ever tried a sand blasting gun? If so, why do you prefer the wheel?

I prefer the wire wheel (a 3" cup brush on a Makita) over sandblasting...unless I can get it in the cabinet. The time it takes to get all the sandblasting stuff out, psych myself into it, etc. I can have it done with a wire wheel.

Don't think I didn't consider it :) However, the goal was originality. That's why I bought those two other parts trucks. Plus, to be honest, I'm a bit partial to this power plant.
