Re: Removing surface rust from machined parts?

Greg,

I tried replying to this message earlier today and got unsubscribed from the 
list.  So I changed the title of your message slightly because I thought 
maybe the server didn't like the word "remove" in your original title.

Anyway, I think bead blasting (with glass beads) is OK if you are careful to 
cover any machined bearing surfaces.  You'll want to thoroughly clean the 
parts of blasting debris afterward of course.  I have a radial aircraft 
engine with a tapered crankshaft nose designed for a tapered prop hub.  I 
have cleaned rust from this part of the crankshaft with fine crocus cloth 
and light oil.
