CNC Stuff

Sandblasting
I can use the shop sandblaster with no problem, I just didn't know if it would rough the surface up too much. With 80 grit aluminium oxide and 150psi it should do the job. Do I use self etching...

Other Switch
Didn't get a response on the wiring so I went and took the 79F switch apart, and the solder joints are coming apart in that one also. For now I'm dead in the water.
