Questions were asked on my post of Jan 17 regarding a cheaper alternative to needle scaler. I apoligize for not answering. I got caught in the process of changing IPS. The air chisel/needle scaler adaptor is working great for me. Lots better than wire brushing. It takes off rust scale and paint flecks with ease and doesn't beat up the metal like I half way expected. I don't use it on sheet metal though. The worst job I subjected it to was the inside of a rear wheel on a WD that had been exposed to leaky liquid loading. The rust was really bad. I am pleased with its use.

I just read the previous posts & am still confused.
I guess I don't know what a needle scaler is.
How does it remove rust? How much air does it use? Is it like a sand blaster? Just don't know.
Help....

Bruce, a needle scaler is a set of stiff wires probably about 1/16" dia each on an air tool like (and in my case) an air chisel. The tool causes the wires to vibrate in and out and when the ends of the wires contact the rust scale and paint, off comes the scale and/or paint. Each wire acts as a tiny chisel. I have seen welders and toolmakers use them in the factories I have worked as a maintenance person and they are very effective. Hope this helps, you can e-mail me if I haven't made myself clear.
