Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
Wakazono Seisakusho, a manufacturer of core dies, has launched a website.
This is a website with a traditional Japanese atmosphere.
If you have some time, please go check it out. lol
Wakazono Manufacturing Co., Ltd. Website
But that's beside the point.
Does everyone know about this?

That's right!
It's a real hammer!!
What's more, this hammer is the shaft of the hydraulic cylinder for the RPD130C (crawler-type rotary percussion hammer).
It's basically a thick pencil lead used as a hammer. (laughs)

What do you think about this?
The color of the top part has changed. It looks as if it's been painted.

What do you think?
Got it??
It's looking pretty nice, isn't it?

Actually, I removed the rust!
What's more, it wasn't just a normal drop—Using sandblastingI did it!

It's used for removing paint and rust.
At Enta, we've recently introduced a new, slightly larger machine.
That's because I'm having a really hard time stripping the paint and removing the rust!
Since it’s essential for maintenance, I used to use a paint stripper called “Skeleton.”
With this, I think we'll be able to maintain and paint it even more beautifully from now on.
And looks like I'll be able to play with this for a while, lol.
By the way, I also gave that thing a try—the one that always ends up covered in mortar!
But I was so excited that I forgot to take a "before" photo...
These are just the "after" photos. (It's still a work in progress, though.)

It looks absolutely gorgeous!
At first, it looked like a mess of mortar, just like it was in a gutter!
I've gotten quite a bit of it off.
I'll take some photos of what I finished today and post them tomorrow! Please wait just a little longer.
If you live nearby, bring it over and I'll remove the mortar with a sandblaster, lol.
Only when I have free time, though lol
Going forward, we plan to use sandblasting and wet blasting for our machinery-related work, so that should save us a lot of time.
I hope to do a good job of maintenance by using both wet and sanding methods as appropriate!
See you later.
