Small shot blast/peen cabinets?




I'm looking for a relatively small, inexpensive system to remove scale from forged steel parts without leaving the frosty surface that sand blasting leaves. I understand that steel shot won't work in a normal sand blast system. But can alternative media in a normal sand blast system remove scale and leave a shiny surface? Or, can I first sand blast and then blast again with a softer media to get the results I want?

First of two simultaneous responses --

See if glass bead might work.
You also need to define small for the cabinet.
