Protect Sandblaster Glass With This 

Hey man! Good to see you back posting videos. I want to try using stainless steel insect screen.

So glad it works for you too!! But you got me thinking about the glass beads now..Hmm. We shoot mostly walnut and have never had issues once the screen was in place. We have a frame that has neodyn-magnets attached on both sides..stays put and because the magnets find their own polar position we don't have to fuss with placement when reattaching the frame. We experimented with different sizes of mesh from McMaster..can't remember exactly where we landed..but it was either 3x3 or 2x2 I believe?? My machinist thought about the glass beads and said immediately.."Can he push some airflow across the widow as a sort-of air-brake?" He said he was thinking more about how to change the velocity rather than the direction.

Thanks Brad, might give this a try to see if it works with my set up. Looking at your cabinet, I see you have 8 threaded screws with nuts inside the cabinet. If T-nuts are installed from underneath with a little J-B Weld will make life easier s removing the screws so as not to drop a nut into the cabinet. Something to consider the next time you have to change out the glass. This is assuming that the screws are for glass retention.

use stainless steel micro screen around 120 to 200 mesh. it will offer much greater protection since the abrasive can't get through it

I wonder if a tablet screen protector would do anything.

My machine uses clear plastic glass protector you just peel off and replace as needed never changed glass

Hiya

Adding plastic sheet would make your glass last longer
