[Shop-talk] Ultrasonic parts cleaners

[MIQ MILLMAN]

some pointers:

1) get the larger size than you are thinking of.  I bought a 10L capacity,
then immediately found that I should have instead selected the 22L version
2) put distilled water in the tank, and use either glass jars or
ziptop bags with cleaning solution (e.g. undiluted zep or simply green
degreaser) inside for really grungy bits--squeeze out all the air from the
ziptops, not needed if you use glass jars
3) Watts of heat is not as important as watts of ultrasonic power.  Most
units have separate ratings for heat and sonic.
4) Vevor as a brand is just ok, Creworks seems much better quality control,
and has higher wattage in same sizes, worth the extra 20% price it seems to
ask

good luck on your grunge
