I have one that I am going to do a report on soon.... don't remember if I mentioned it before. It's called an "air eraser" and it is a tiny sandblaster used in glass etching. Possible uses include taking hard mineral deposits off of pots, delicate work on jins, sharis, and deadwood carving, refining stone and concrete pots and trays. It has three grades of abrasive and works like an air brush, only with grits.
