Abstract:  
Is rebuilt right for you? A rebuilt wheel machine might be the ideal workhorse for your shot peening or blast cleaning applications. The main selling point of a rebuilt is cost: A rebuilt machine can be purchased for up to 45% of the cost of a new machine and substantially less than the cost of a late model used machine. And like the pianist that purchases a rebuilt classic Steinway because she wants only the finest but can't afford a new Steinway grand, buying rebuilt makes the most reputable and dependable equipment affordable for even the smallest job shop. A secondary benefit to rebuilt equipment is less training time if your operator and maintenance personnel are already familiar with older equipment.
