Thread: Update on Rust Removal Gizmo

Gentlemen,

Here is an update on my quest to discover a means of rust and blemish removal on razors while still retaining Gold Wash and Etching.

What you see here is an Air Dental Polisher and a Dental Turbine unit. It acts like a micro sandblaster and is used by dentists to remove stains and blemishes from teeth when using high grit and low pressure, or can remove cavities in place of a dental drill when using low grit and high pressure - with anything in between.

It uses sodium bicarbonate as a high grit abrasive and aluminum oxide as a low grit abrasive. Other grits are available.

The hand piece is attached to the turbine unit and the turbine unit attached to an air compressor for supply air. The turbine unit has all the regulators and mixers required, which I thought I was going to have to put together myself. It also has a water supply and foot switch to operate it off of. The water is used to contain the abrasive in a localized cloudlike area and act as a lubricant.

The Dental Turbine Unit was the hard part to track down.

The whole set-up costs about $150. I am saving some money so I can buy one and test it out - if only I could stop buying razors : -)

I will keep everyone posted on how this works out.

Cheers!
David
