Ray,
You are right that aluminum oxide will work much faster than "beads", however
I use "beads" as a generic term and sometimes use other media in my cabinet.
I forget what it is called but I buy it from Tipp and it's black in color,
does a good job and isn't to costly as it will eventually end up in the dust
collector. I do use a plastic media on carburetor castings and this cleans them
up
without giving the parts a satin or blasted appearance. But mostly I keep the
glass beads in my cabinet because it works on almost all materials without
doing any damage to the parts but mostly because I don't want to be changing
media all the time. Laziness I guess. I've run almost every part for my J2 thru
my cabinet except the chassis which won't fit and I'm doing the same with the
TC. In fact I'll be taking the body tub irons to a local sand blasting company
soon as these are also to big for my cabinet. The TC chassis has already been
sand blasted and primed.
