Dave,

We've been using bench top Electrovert mini wave systems for nearly 20
years. Although we've worn out 6-8 over the years, they're well built and
take a pounding. Occasionally the throat depth is a bit tight. Found the
nozzles a bit pricey, we typically have them custom made. Be sure your
operators know how to work with these machines, I refer to them as
volcanoes.

We also have a Comco microblasting system. Terrific for removing coatings
and solder mask from places where you don't want it. It's amazing the
control an operator has with these units. Exhausting the spent media is a
concern when you have a big job. You also need to be aware of the tremendous
static these thing create.

Hi Technet! October has arrived and I now have a new capital equipment
budget! There are two items our lab techs are interested in: a) a benchtop
flowing wave pot for tinning/soldering; b) a benchtop micro sandblaster for
preparing surfaces, cleaning off surface films, corrosion, etc. Both
systems would be used in a very manual, non-automated mode.  I have found
some good information on the web but would like to ask the TechNet
community if anyone is using a specific model/type of equipment (either the
wave or sandblaster) that they would recommend I investigate.

Thanks in advance for the assistance and contact me off-line if you prefer.
