I wasn&#8217;t happy with the chisel in the air hammer approach so I decided to experiment. A number of Youtube videos talked up the needle scaler as a great tool so I bought one from Harbor Freight. I made a video of my testing and put it on Youtube.

Today, after further examination, I&#8217;m not so happy. The first photo to the right shows the area I cleaned with the needle scaler after cleaning it with a wire brush to examine the metal surface &#8212; pretty dinged up. The second photo shows a closeup of the recessed area, and dings are evident there also. Oh well, maybe I&#8217;ll use the air hammer approach on flat surfaces, the needle scaler on large contoured or recessed areas, and the stringer bead wheel on small areas.<\/p>\n<p>Any suggestions are welcome. I just put my findings out her and on Youtube so you can draw your own conclusions from the test.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m finally spending some time on the MC850 again.
