Air scribe

[Pterygotus]

Hello everyone, 

 

Just spotted this online for a very cheap price. It’s labelled as a Chicago pneumatic cp9160. However the seller only listed one picture and not much info. Should I be worried? Is it suitable for fossil prep? Also apart from an air compressor what else would I need to get it up and running?

 

Thanks in advance

As far as other items needed, most people prep mechanically using a "blast box", that has a dust removal system attached.

You can prep without a blast box if you do it outside, or wearing a very good dust filtration mask. 

Black lung is a real disease to be mindful of.  

Also, some sort of magnification is helpful. Magnifying lamps, or microscopes, or a magnifying head visor are some choices.

Thanks for the reply.

You will also want to use some hearing protection. 
 

That scribe should be comparable to an Aro.
