New sand blaster for shed group in Stowmarket thanks to donation by Rotarians
The Rotary Club of Stowmarket Gipping Valley recently gave the Meadlands Men’s Shed, in Stowmarket, an amount of money which enabled them to purchase a new sand blaster.
It is designed to remove paint, rust, and other material build-ups from rough surfaces using specialised equipment that sprays abrasive materials.
The material is typically a mixture of coarse sand and compressed air.
High pressure forces the mixture through a hose to smooth or clean the surface.
The metal work section was recently set up and the sand blaster is a useful addition.
The photo shows the sand blaster being operated by Paul Riches with Bill Bowden looking on.
The Meadlands Men’s Shed currently has 37 active members who are able to use all the equipment provided. It has expanded in the years after starting back in 2017.
The Rotary Club of Stowmarket Gipping Valley usually meet once every two weeks at the Limes Hotel, in Needham Market, and sometimes by Zoom.
