Recommendations for low price ultrasonic cleaner for Stihl carburetor

[imageel]

@imageel are you talking about in conjunction with an ultrasonic machine or just as you would usually do it?

I suspect that acetone maybe available at reasonable cost, I haven’t tried it out in plastic containment but suspect it won’t work well.

TBH I never bothered with an ultrasonic bath just cellulose thinners and an old toothbrush for intricate parts or an offcut of hardwood to dislodge stubborn build-ups -far more friendly on TCT items

I used to use the CMT spray and an old toothbrush on my table saw blades but TBH I found it a real fag as it took ages for the crud on the tips to soften. Seriously thnking about getting a bigger bath but my usage of blades isn't what it used to be and so easier to send off to be sharpened.

Here you go. A bearing guided router bit and a spindle moulder cutter.

The 'before' bearing was a bit graunchy but after the ultrasonic clean, free as a bird and can easily be spun using compressed air

I'm unclear as to what vacuum bags have to do with ultrasonic cleaning TBH

The vacuum bags can contain whatever liquid (that doesn’t eat plastic) and the items to be cleaned, for example paraffin, or soapy water, while the main bath is just water, so you can easily keep the main bath squeaky clean.

I had the thought as I have a chamber vacuum seal machine. It’s quite useful for making ice packs that I can give away with the cold food, at virtually zero cost

Don't spin bearings with compressed air. They can get damage from the dry surfaces running against each other. More importantly they can be spun up to the point where the bearing comes apart, sending pieces everywhere. It doesn't take very long either. Just a few seconds. Basic training taught to me when was training to be an aircraft mechanic ages ago.
