Abstract:  
The following article is reprinted from the ZERO Update newsletter and covers the work of Herb Tobben, the manager of ZERO's Sample Processing Lab. Reprinted with permission LIMITED BUDGET DEMANDS SIMPLE SOLUTION: A small shop landed a contract to paint 1,000 lightweight aluminum-alloy bicycle frames per week. The company was using two suction blast hand cabinets, but becuase the frames were difficult to maneuver within the cabinets, surface preparation quickly became a bottleneck in production.
