AUSSIES THAT WANT VAPOUR BLASTING DONE, Grab a bucket from Bunnings, or a Box and fill it with parts, slap a label on it and I will post them back to you looking like new :) My email is in the description box of this video to get more info
Hi Dan as always good videos. A Vapour blaster is a great addition to your arsenal. By the way I’m in Brisbane I’ve been following you since you began your first build. I’m also into custom bike building restorations and you’ve taught me quite a few tricks thank you. I’ve built my own vapour blaster from one of those trade tools dry sand blasting cabinets I bought the plans for it from I think Damien enterprises from NZ he sells home made nozzles and how to build , so I fished out $10 bucks and had a go best I’ve ever done. I’ve made mine with a bucket underneath the hopper which houses the pump for ease of changing blast media. Take out the pump change media add water reset and go takes another 5 to 10 minutes. I’m building 1984 K100 RS I’m at wiring stage haven’t started yet but will do this week pending time. It’s because of your videos I went with moto gadget blue led lights mirrors and the list goes on. Thank you for being an inspiration to us all. Regards John
This is fantastic and I'm so happy I'm able to inspire you and point you in the right direction, I thought of making one myself as I have a good friend that did this, Always comes down to time and not everyone has our skills or tools to make stuff like this so a plug and play unit is the best option for a lot of people
🇦🇺 from Victoria. Love your channel. I never miss an episode. Quality content, extremely well filmed and none of the usual CZcams dramatics. A pleasure to watch
Hi, I have only come across your channel recently. I have retired and now live in Tasmania. I have some old 2 stroke road bikes from the 70s I am working on and find you have a lot of knowledge that will help me. Cheers
🇦🇺 Aussie born and bred 🇦🇺 From Lithgow NSW! Working on getting my first house /workshop then it's time to start shopping for my first project bike! Your videos have been a huge inspiration Dan, keep it up!!!
Just bought a good used pilot air K25 today. Was watching some videos and got routed to yours. Glad to hear how highly you speak of them. Hope it’s still performing well for you. Cheers.
Thank you for leading me on to this technology. I just bought a sand-blasting cabinet a few weeks ago. Now want to convert it into a wet blasting cabinet. =)
Awesome work mate, Just be mindful of rust over time but I'm sure you know that, These are HDPE Plastic and very strong so maybe look into coating yours or even have a dry and wet cabinet as that's what I have.
🇦🇺 The garage envy is reeeeeeeeeal!!! Up in Brisbane mate. Your vids are great, methodical, and excellent for informing and educating. I’m doing an XT600 build atm, every time I’ve got a question for CZcams, your vids are there and explaining your work in a way that myself, and obviously everyone else can understand. Thanks for the lessons, keep it up! Now to consider if I’m patient enough to find a vapour blaster or to keep on with the fabbing up prior to teaching myself how to weld before I start de-tabbing and frame looping! Thanks again mate and well done! Ps - sounds like that vapour blast cabinet could do with an Aussie dealer/distributor.....
Thank you mate I’m glad to be of help. I’ve been acquiring tools ever since I can remember and had to get certain tools for jobs that I’ve had. I’m glad my videos are going to good use have an amazing day and can’t wait to see the XT600
Your films are getting better and better! Well done. That Copenhagen bottle opener could be a nice tankbadge. And at the end, I thought the gloves would move! Nice touch with the pumpkin.
awesome setup you now have with the new blaster and compressor, will be keeping an eye on you metioning doing some blasting from home. I live in 2614 postcode and am currently converting half my garage into a workshop. Would love to have the vapour blaster but looks way too expensive for me! I have a 1983 Z650 to turn into a scrambler and a 1976 Ducati 750ss to restore. Currently riding a 2016 Lowrider S with the Sreming Eagle 117 kit, and a few other mods, and a GTR1400. Love your channel!
Hi, Kevin, I'm only a postage drop away if you need some parts blasted and don't end up buying a machine of your own. buy a bucket from bunnings, fill it with parts, slap a label on it and they will come back looking like new :)
Had the same issue with FAD , then decided to reinvent the wheel , I no longer use compressed air and use compressed water 😎👍 I built my vapour blaster for under $2K and could of done it cheaper but chose to modify my existing hare & forbes blasting cabinet that cost me $1300 been blasting for 40 years and my advice is to experiment with different blast media and mixes 👍
Wow great! And this is so coincidental! I really made a study out of the vaporblasters last year since I vaporblasted my previous project. I wanted to do the upcoming ones and parts myself. Outsoarcing it is very expensive. The big aircompressor which needs 380 volts was my biggest issue (together with the size of the thing). And these blasters cost a fortune. There are only two companies in Holland who do commercial vaporblasting which demonstrates how unique the technique is. The most important benefit is that this technique slaps the metal surface flat rather than opening it up which is done with for instance sandblasting. Therefore you bring your material back in original state and keep it protected from the elements and it won't rust. Btw, were you inspired by my vapor blasted engines? I am pretty sure I told you about it the other day?
Hi mate it’s been a long time 😋. Hope you are well, yes it is very unique and I remember us talking about it :) I’ve got loads of people interested in it as well as want parts blasted. When is your next cafe racer project starting? I’m sure you have loads i’ve guys waiting for that on your channel
@@CafeRacerGarage I too thought to help some people out when I would have the cabinet. Loads and loads of people would be helped with the parts vapor blasted. Especially when we only have two people in Holland where you can bring your parts to. I upload some bike related video's once in a while. I have some great ones comming up where I will upgrade my ST1300 dashboard with different color LED's. There is no DIY video on CZcams for that so people are dying to see it if I beleive the forums and comments. And my Chiefpep #2 isn't sold yet... So need space and cashflow first before starting a new one 😉
If you're not already using it, I'd suggest picking up a bottle of Rustlick B. Its a concentrated rust inhibitor that you add a little bit to your tank water and any steel parts blasted in the tank won't flash rust. It works great. A gallon of it will last you for some time.
Norman Ashworth came up with the wet Blasting cabinet in the 1950's, nothing has changed, nothing new here!! Just a carry on copy of an Abrasive Developments machine!!
Thanks, I am in the UK, there is a two stage compressor available here from Machine Mart that requires a 30amp supply but your suggestion of running each motor from a 15amp supply is interesting as that is exactly what I have. Thanks Mark
🇦🇺 victoria.. awesome finish but dont recon most people have $4500 to $5900 for a compressor or $2500 to $10000 for a vapor honing technologies cabinet. Lol love your videos mate keep it up.. out of interest maybe you could do a guide on how to vapor blast an entire engine. How to keep the media out of the engine ect.
I run 2 air compressors to a storage tank If I really need a lot of air for coating removal Single air compressor 18 cfm is fine for glass bead finish I also make cabinets Axis Vapor Honing Industries can also help out if you would like to add a closed loop system
Extraordinary, Dan! Nice pieces of machinery... makes one wonder how the machine’s gloves stand up to the blasting material? Enjoy your Sunday there, Mate! 🏍👍🏍
Surprisingly they reckon the gloves last a long time, that & the media you use and maybe some gun tips are the only expenses after purchasing the machine so it’s a great rig that’s for sure.
Great video, I am in the process of buying a dry abrasive blasting cabinet and convert to a vapour blast cabinet so was interested in how the cabinet performed, I think yours would be a high end machine design and cost wise Have just bought a 17cfm compressor single phase compressor to run my blast cabinet to upgrade my 8cfm unit. Like the content especially that you are restoring bikes as I also do. Look forward to your future projects. cheers Jeff NSW Aus
As always Dan great brekkie video . Guess that was what you had delivered in the last one . Love the cabinet its 1 hell of an improvement on a dry media cabinet .same issue in UK with the compressor want a biggie get 3 phase ..household not many choices available looks belt drive so its gonna be a nice quiet one compared to the direct ones . Love the "pumpkin" just gonna play with a couple myself lol .have a great Halloween. Thanks again
Thank you Gary, I wasn't aware the UK had this same issue, I'm glad I made this video now to show some other options for guys like us. That gas pumpkin was a fun project :)
@@CafeRacerGarage cheers Dan yup anything over 3hp on the motors or about 100lt tabk size you can modify to a 16 amp socket which is like the caravan plugs or site 110v plugs . Wont fit the 3 pin 13 amp 240 household supply anything bigger 3 phase .. Quick question if i may when you plasma cut do you drag your tip in the metal or try to keep it a bit off the metal . Im just starting with a cut 50 pilot arc and not exactly sure on if i hold it away or drag it. Thanks Dan
Dan, what have you found is the best mix ratio, media in pounds to water in gallons (if its metric, no worries mate I can convert)? I've look at big industrial units and their suggestions was 15-25% but don't give an explanation of how it is determined...
@@CafeRacerGarage i moved from broadbeach in the Goldy to Sihanoukville in Cambodia and all i can find are little 125 scooters or dirt biles lol. Keep up the fantastic work 😉
oioioi vapour blasting looks good. My belt grinder runs a VFD to power the 3 phase motor i wonder if that would be more cost effective way to go . No idea though cause a vfd is around $600-$700 and never looked into a 3 phase air compressor. Cheers 4 sharing sir.
Thank you mate and yes there is always another way to do things but cost is a big part of that every time unfortunately :) thank you for the idea tho, I never thought of that.
Hey Dan, did you try running both of your other compressors concurrently? I’m in a similar position but only have a smaller version pilot air around 8cfm connected to a 200l external tank. I’m thinking I’ll either have to upgrade or pick up another one cheap and potentially run 2 at the same time. Would this work you think?
Hey mate you could potentially do that but you will find that one will empty faster than the other and you’ll be waiting for it to build up air And therefore give you an inconsistent finish when blasting
Happy to do your blasting for you :) The blaster was imported from the USA so no suppliers on the coast as yet. They are the best units on the market today hands down.
Very nice is it the same unit Taylor from classic octane uses?I been looking to invest in one of these units did you get yours from the USA or is there a local supplier? I looked on their website looks high quality.oi oi oi. Sydney.
This came from the USA and its the next model up from Taylor's vaporhoningtechnologies.com/vh800p-b-open-loop/ Taylor's model wont work in Au due to the 110v pump used
OI OI OI. Mate, those side mirrors you got, I bought the same ones for my gs500 (We spoke about it on Instagram). This could potentially be another video on a potential CafeRracerG method of fixing a cheapo side mirror, but, I had a kid walk too close to my side mirror and it pushed it way out of whack, when i realigned the mirror, i noticed that the mirrors were very loose now, long story short, the paint around the bearing joint wore away, so now i'm looking at a type of rubber or some sort of solution.
Hey brother it’s best to jump on their website or shoot them an email/phone call, I don’t work for the company so I’m unsure what the exact prices are for each model, however, they are very and helpful in making sure you get the right machine for you, and their customer service is next level 😁

Can you blast the carbs as a whole unit then refit without needing to strip down and clean? My carbs are working fine but the outside needs cleaned.
I now wont blast carbs that are not taken apart as its a lot of work to get the glass bead out if they are not apart.
Does the compressor operate on parallel or sequential?

How long would it last
Very nice is it the same unit Taylor from classic octane uses?I been looking to invest in one of these units did you get yours from the USA or is there a local supplier? I looked on their website looks high quality.oi oi oi. Sydney.
This came from the USA and its the next model up from Taylor's vaporhoningtechnologies.com/vh800p-b-open-loop/ Taylor's model wont work in Au due to the 110v pump used
Is that the GSXR front end mod? Where'd you get that fender? Looks slick!
Hi Phil, This is an R6 front end and the front fender was from amazon ➨ amzn.to/3o5wTLS
STRAYA!
So, if you had three compressors already, why didn't you just run two of them at the same time and plumb them together?
Yes but It would need to run them flat out all the time and that will not be good for long term use
OI OI OI.
Mate, those side mirrors you got, I bought the same ones for my gs500 (We spoke about it on Instagram).

Couldn't you have just taken the other two compressors you had and plumbed them together to make a system functionally identical to that duplex unit?
Yes but It would need to run them flat out all the time and that will not be good for long term use
G’day from Perth
I'm Aussie.
Hello Dan what is the price point on the vapour blaster
Hey brother it’s best to jump on their website or shoot them an email/phone call, I don’t work for the company so I’m unsure what the exact prices are for each model, however, they are very and helpful in making sure you get the right machine for you, and their customer service is next level 😁
@@CafeRacerGaragethanks bud
did you buy that vapour blaster direct from them in the US? Or is there an Australian dealer?
Unfortunately there’s no dealer here in Australia as yet but that could soon change :)
Nice 👌👌👍
