New Machine Day! | Setup & Testing | RapidBlast™ SD140 Dustless Blaster
We have finally upgraded our sandblasting setup to a dustless blaster system! In this video we are setting up and testing out our new RapidBlast SD140 Dustless Blaster. This system is designed and built in Australia and combined with a Japanese built Airman PDS185 compressor this thing is absolutely awesome. We show how to get it set up and test it out by blasting a D10 bulldozer equalizer bar before performing a Dye penetrant crack test on the bar. We are extremely happy with this new setup, excited for the range of services we will be able to offer our customers and can’t wait to use it on our Franna crane project!

Buongiorno a KURTIS e FAMIGLIA da EUGENIO di GENOVA VOLTRI ( LIGURIA ) ITALIA 🇮🇹. Guardo sempre i Tuoi video, e sono sempre iscritto al Tuo canale. Vi auguro un FELICE BUON NATALE A TUTTI VOI 😃😃😃👏👏👍👍🤗🤗🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♂️
@19:53 That's just one happy puppy dawg !! #HOMIE
awesome !!!! another excellent piece of equipment to help with raising the bar on your business and making it even more successful keep up the outstanding work, Kurtis, Karen, & Homeless !!
What about the new de-rusting lasers? their prices have come down to ~20K USD. Was this even an option?
Karen is so lucky to get such a nice piece of kit for Christmas! And she even let you use it
Lol 😂
Ha ha ha nice one
ahhahahaahaaha
Chicago fittings. A manifold for other use.that unit stands out as a search out any material defects. Magnetic partical test. List goes on.great purchase ✨️
@@arnoldcappelletto3236 the correct name is minsup couplings. originally made by the mining supplies company. used for air or water mainly in the mines. my uncle worked underground in the isa in the 80s. they would get lengths of pipe with the fittings pre welded on. high strength and they can be pinned so they dont undo
Been watching CEE for the past few years. This is up there with my favorite videos. I know it’s a pain in Kurtis’s A** to explain the details but Karen’s editing skills and both your time do not go unnoticed. Thank you for everything you both do!
It's amazing how she makes the first 20 minutes nearly flawless and seem like he explained everything in one take... and then the last 4 minutes we're reminded that he has the memory of a squirrel and it probably took 200 takes 😂
agreed
Top notch indeed.

I would like to thank Kurtis and Karen in behalf of all your dedicated followers for enlightening and educating all of us who look forward to your videos in this remarkable industry . I am a retired automotive and commercial vehicle technician and greatly appreciate your informative and entertaining work and Kurtis I humbly state you are definitely a remarkable and dedicated man in your area of expertise. I can only hope the both of you are being justly rewarded for your contributions to this channel and speaking for your followers I hope you continue to do so
Amen to that!
Curious to know who gave permission to speak on behalf of other viewers. Speak for yourself. The arrogance.
@@aheadofthecurve2352 Sorry someone $hit in your mess kit a$$hole please accept my sincerest of ##cking apology for any inconvenience I may have caused your Highness by making a sincere statement. Remember in order for your response to offend me I must first value your opinion and I don't
@@aheadofthecurve2352 I gave permission to speak for myself. And you have the right not to watch the video. Save your nerve cells and emotions.
I gave you permison para falar estas belas palavras em meu name. Apenas ressalto que poderia ter dito _"...e peço permissão aos demais comentaristas para que se associem as minhas seguintes palavras..."_ . Seu comentário é bonito, Feliz Natal.
I love that you are really excited to be able to offer new services and expand your capabilities. And you want to do it the right way and not the lazy way. A consummate professional with pride in himself, skills, and equipment.
Man, it’s just so awesome to be able to watch an Aussie company so well accepted as being a quality outfit, both in the quality of the work carried out….that would be you Kurtis, and for the video quality…..that would be you Karen. Bloody proud of you both, so cool to see your business thriving and able to expand. Have a great Xmas guys.
Hey Gordon we appreciate the kind words and support mate! You have a good Chrissy too 👍
0700 here in the UK, Tea and toast and a CEE vid....nice !
As if you’ll get tea and toast only at 0709
11:15 pm here in the pacific northwest USA. Perfect timing for a night cap and a snack for me 👍
Having a lie in, short black americano and shredded wheat at 0718 😎
Just finishing my morning coffee here 😊
12:27 in the American Rockies. I love watching his vids every Friday morning.
I love that you guys keep mince in the fridge for the birds, it's so wholesome
Seeing how much quality matters to you and doing things the right way sets you apart from so many people in the service industry. It is so hard to find knowledgeable people that care about providing the highest quality part or service. Hats off to you and for letting us watch you work. The video and editing continues to amaze me Karen, wonderful job
CEE is the perfect showcase of focused hard work with goals always pays off. In the US where I grew up, people always told me hard work pays off. Now I say it’s hard work with goals in a specific direction. It was cool to hear you talk about the companies goals today too.
I'm excited to see the Frenna crane get sandblasted. I absolutely love sandblasting. It's so satisfying and thorough.
Amazes me that any company would ignore you. You have a wide viewership and are very good at explaining, crediting and demonstrating your equipment.
If a company can ignore a client wanting to purchase a product you can only imagine what their after sales support is like.
I was thinking the same thing. That Texas company sure lost both a customer AND free advertising. 🤦🏻♂️
Another outstanding video. Kurtis has clearly done his homework on this unit, explaining the features of the unit, the strength of the organization behind the unit, availability of spares, and the high quality. Not only can he use the unit in situ, he can also pop it on a truck and send it out for mobile sandblasting. Well done!
That thing is sweet! Way better than using any sort of abrasive discs or wire wheels, especially in hard to reach places. Merry Christmas!
definitely! Going to be a game changer for sure!
*Cutting Edge Engineering Australia* Congratulations, this is really going to step up your game. Thank-you for taking the time to bring us along. GOD Bless.
Thanks for the support mate we appreciate it
@@CuttingEdgeEngineeringcongratulations on your new blaster. Hope it serves you very well. Also, give homie a good scratch for me, he’s such a good boy 😊😊😊😊
Great sand blaster. Awesome job.
I like how you just keep upping your game with tools and implements so that you don't have to contract-out any work and have it possibly not meet your standards........quality is key, thanks for being a decent human being.
i know its hard work but its like a dream with big toys. its fasanating to watch you grow
I haven't been watching all that long, but I'm still impressed with how much Cutting Edge has grown in the time I've been here. You've got your act together and it shows.
cheers mate thanks for the support
You guys ever seen a dry ice blaster? I watched a guy clean oil residue and brake dust off a truck. It was so cool to watch. The dry ice freezes the residue, and it immediately flakes off! It would be a great one man business.
It is really nice to see you getting more self-sufficient and widening the range of service to your customers. At the same time, I wish to you and your family Marry Christmas and Happy New year, with lots of happiness and in good health.
Hi Kurtis and Karen from Harry in the UK, just wanted to say how much I enjoy your videos, my Father was a engineer and toolmaker and watching Kurtis work the lathe takes me right back to so many happy nights watching Dad working on his lathe in our shed making parts to keep our old cars going. It's such a thrill for me to watch Kurtis who take such obvious care with his work reminding me of those happy times, also, big shout out to Karen for the excellent production values, keep it up and have a happy Christmas and prosperous new year.
Noice, having a little dig at companies who don't deliver or care about their business. We don't know who they are but I am sure the company will know who they are! Merry Christmas and I hope you enjoy your break!
Focus and hard work absolutely pays off , what a team you guys are . All the best from 🇬🇧
What I've loved about your channel over the years is watching you expand your business with new tools, making your operation more efficient, etc. I'm looking forward to see what you get up to in the New Year!
Great setup Curtis. I once owned an auto body shop in Northern California and we had the contract for the Sheriffs department who had several boats. I was sand blasting a trailer for them one day and goofed up and blasted my wrist for just a fraction of a second.. OOOO AHH that hurt as it removed the skin from my wrist!. It stung like a burn and I learned to never blast without taped Gauntlet gloves on It eventually healed but no hair ever grew there again! It only takes once to learn my lesson!
OUCH that would not have been fun!
Most beautiful air compressor ive ever seen
Just made my day again ! Something nice about seeing interaction with critters. I’ve had a Doe and a fawn coming all season to eat apples and raspberries in my back yard. Sometimes they will have a lie-down, and watch me work on whatever I’m working on, and it’s very serene and peaceful.
The huge effort you both put into your videos make them extremely worthy to watch, I just haven't the time to devote that sort of time and to carry out the work at the same time. Keep up the fantastic work.
Kurtis and Karen, thank you for yet another year of incredible content! Your hard work and dedication shine through in every video. Wishing both of you a Merry Christmas and continued success in the coming year!
Wow, thank you! Merry Christmas to you too
Kurtis, you have some VERY cool toys, mate! I love seeing people who work as hard as you rewarded. You & your lovely wife deserve all the success you're finding on this channel and in your business. You've opened up the eyes for many of us on machining capabilities and it's a true pleasure watching your channel. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
The two of you deserve the success you’ve earned, and make this a “feel good” channel. I wish there was a home version of your blaster I could afford, because the performance was amazing.
Man, you are an inspiration seeing what one person (and your wife) can do. I'm getting certified to be a machinist. Keep up the good work and the videos!
Kurtis, that dustless blaster system looks to be one of the nicest systems that I have seen in use, like you said it will let you be sure of the quality of the work that you put out, and also looks more finished. I thought several times it would have been nice to have what you just purchased to make your product more professional-looking when finished. Merry Christmas to you all and have a very good next year.
Gday Kurtis and Karen, definitely an big purchase but worth every cent, this opens up a whole new avenue now and save a ton of time to also that wash down feature is a brilliant idea, I’m keen to see the bridge lift, it’ll be awesome, have a great weekend, cheers
Caught this video within 4 minutes and it already has more than 1k views!! Congratualations and thanks for uploading.
best community on youtube!
What a nice piece of kit! I hadn't even thought about in-house blasting, but what a great addition. It removes a time-killer from your workflow. Mounted on a truck, it will be a great service you can provide your customers. You already have a relationship with them so they will be confident in your work. 👍
You guys are clearly doing well for yourselves. Fair play!
That opening monologue from Curtis was mammoth, just going from his usual efforts to string 3 words together, this must have started Tuesday and finished late Thursday.
Karen had to set up the tripod stand so her arms didn't get sore 😂
That blaster is gonna be the beat addition in a while. Your craftsmanship is incredibly professional and Ive always thought it shone through most when its all painted up and OEM-looking. Hope you guys have a great Christmas and enjoy yourselves!
Absolutely loving the growth!
Great job, Guys! You have chosen a fine piece of equipment which will serve your shop for years to come. Your ceaseless attention to detail and quality for customers is an inspiration. Thanks for the video and Merry Christmas & Happy New Year.
The blaster works so well, I really like the wash ability after a sanding. No dust no fuss! Dang, I want one now!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all. I hope that Kurtis, Karen and Homey can all have a nice time of rest, good food and good cheer, and the boxing day test match too of course 😅😂
Same to you!
The shop I worked in had something very similar. Being in warm and humid climate rust was a problem with everything we had. Every time we got done with the blaster we ran a gallon of EvapoRust in it. Never had a problem with rust again! Great channel, always look for the vid!!
Looking forward to seeing more of the blaster in action! Thanks for sharing
That sandblaster is awesome! Certainly does an awesome job! I hope that you both have an awesome Christmas, and a wonderful break from work! I am only one of MANY who enjoy your videos every week. It's great to know that the business is doing so well! You both deserve all the good things that go your way. Merry Christmas K&K 😊 🎄
Hey mate, we're loving the blasting setup so far, can't wait to really put it to use in the New Year! A relaxing break is definitely on the agenda and we hope your Chrissy is a good one too! Thanks for the generous support this year mate 🎄
Always love seeing new toys come into the shop and watching your company grow. Grats on the new media blasting setup and that compressor is a pretty sweet as well. Happy Holidays to the three of ya!
Cheers mate thanks for all the support!
Thank you for sharing, always a pleasure watch your project 👍👍👍👍
Brilliant investment. I love how you don't cut any corners.
I love sandblasters but yours is a really special one. Congratulations! Love Homey and love the birds!
Holy shit! Those are some seriously nice toys Santa has got you for Christmas Kurtis! I'm glad that your business is going so well that you can buy machines like those. Have a great and well deserved break over the festive season you three.
They seem to work bloody hard at it to get where they are. Deserve whatever they get, hey!
It’s great seeing your business expand. It’s great showing hard work paying off.
This is a prime example of the professionals you both are. I have no doubt it will bring large benefits to your business. I am definitely looking for to watching you blast your new crane. Happy Holidays to you both. Thank you for another wonderful year of videos and learning.
My hats off to you Karen, for being able to put together a seamless video from the talent you have to work with. At least Homey, does what you ask him to do...usually. 🤣
Very nice piece of kit. I watch a lot of Japanese manufacturing programs and they are very good at what they do. Crack detecting using dye penetrative, I always found it messy, but it is a relatively quick process off-site. We developed an ultra sonic system to check for cracks, so much quicker and cleaner. The flash rust problem is we fixed using mist spray oil, after shot blasting. The shot blasting equipment really does open new markets for CEE, really pleased for you. Have yourselves a Merry Christmas 🎄🌟🎄and a happy new year 🎉🎉, thanks for entertaining us. Take care, be safe 👍
Awesome congratulations crew. This will be a major benefit to the shop!
What a game changer for your business. Your customers will definitely appreciate the end product they receive from you. Congratulations on the upgrade.
Looks like we will be hearing a lot more post video highlights telling trains where to go once that depot is finished 😂 it has been awesome coming along for the journey each week and seeing the business get bigger and better. Can’t wait to see what 2024 has in store.
Final one before the big day: Merry Christmas team. My Friday night routine has been permanently enhanced by 30-50 minutes of engineering Zen. Hope you get some well deserved RnR, eat far too much and enjoy quality time with friends and family.
Cheers mate we're hoping for that this year too and hope yours is a good one!
In my career I’ve had the opportunity to contract with some AUS companies on several product development projects for the medical field and was always impressed by the dedication to quality and focus on the details that made the end product as good as it could be. No different with you two after watching all the videos! Must be something in the water or being stuck on an island… merry Christmas and all the best for the New Year!
Nothing beats a new machine to use. So much fun!
the more you can keep in house, the tighter you can keep QC not to mention the time savings. Very nice addition to CCE's tool box. the compressor by itself opens new possibilities. Happy Holidays CCE family
Exciting to get new infrastructure that will enhance your business and make it that one notch above the competition. Looks like an awesome unit and can tell you are tickled pink by it. Cheers to another great video...... Have a safe and Merry Christmas....
Great job guys. Thank you 😊
Super impressed with the Rapid Blast system! Awesome!
Nice machine mate!! Looks fun to use. Great investment for a great company!! Can’t wait to see it in action on the Franna crane.
Holy smokes. First off, Ya'll have no shortage of some of the coolest tools i have ever seen. I am really happy for you guys. This is gonna really bring your jobs to that next level of precision and quality which I did not think possible! Excited to see some of that in future videos. aaaaaaaaand second, give George some love for me :D
New tools are so much fun!
Oh man…that blaster is a superb unit! Thanks for sharing it with us Kurtis! I’m looking forward to seeing it work on your crane, and the final rebuild….you’ll pretty much have a new crane at that point, and know all the work was done correctly, because you did it yourself. Great video!
It's been a blast to watch you continue to grow your business, I'm super excited to see where this goes in the future. I look forward every week to new videos and what new projects you are working on.
@@craigkennedy5104came here to say this.
Congrats on the new blasting unit. It's great to see CEE growing and becoming even more successful. Y'all have certainly worked hard to build your business.
Been using dustless blasting for several years now. I sub it out to a contractor for coating removal /prep. Great investment for your business! Merry Christmas to y'all.
This is a really neat unit, awesome compressor and blasting configuration, like something from heaven. You really did your homewok well. Have a good future and new year to all three of you.
I adore the Pied Butcherbird interludes. They're adorable. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to Karen, Kurtis and Homie ! Cheers.
we've got 2 of the butcherbirds hanging around still and coming to visit nearly daily 🥰
that’s George and his associate checking in with Kurtis & Karen to let them know that everything is going well
@@JohnH20111 I thought George was protesting that Homeless gets all the packages, and wanted his share.
Thanks CCE for a great 2023 with such a vast amount of skills and projects and looking forward to 2024 and even more great content and camera skills. Have a very Merry Christmas and safe start to the New Year. 🎅
Thank you to the entire CEE team for all the beautiful videos of this year 2023. Have a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays and see you next year to follow your new adventures. A French fan 🎄😀🍾🍻❤️
WOW that is one kick ass piece equipment!!!! MOST IMPRESSIVE!!!!!
Wet blasting so much more worker and environmentally safe. Pretty amazing how quickly the flash rusting appears on your metal surfaces. Definitely need the anti rust additive to hold the blasted surface. Nice gear Kurtis, an early Christmas present??
Always expanding and improving the business and it's great to be on the journey with you. From here in the UK, I hope you Kurtis, Karen and Homeless have a great Christmas and a wonderful New Year.
Very, very cool blaster. Can't wait to see you blast the crane.
COOL!So glad for you!

Happy to see you all celebrating Christmas early! I'd love to get kit like that under my tree. Stunned at how calm that compressor sounds! Even the tiny little compressors I used with nail guns made a horrible racket.
Rotaries are a huge improvement over recips in their relative quiet.
That is quite a machine/system! Congratulations, Kurtis, on opening a new phase of your operation! 👍
Awsome bit of gear. Wet blasting is excellent. Thanks for the content.
How good. The weekend feels so much more complete with another episode with Kurtis, Karen, Homeless and George and CEE work activities. Congratulations on the new sand blaster, looks very useful, just like Kurtis explained. Wishing you the best of weekends, merry Christmas and happy holidays. 🎅🎄
Curtis I feel the same way about Japanese products, real quality and great engineering, congrats on your awesome new equipment. Javi G.
Thank you for sharing and teaching some of us something new! Pray all are well with you and yours'. Merry Christmas too all.
Love your new blaster. Sure looks like a very fast blaster. Will make your bigger projects look even better than normal. All the great work you do inside an item, the paint on the outside is what they see. Well done, Curtis. Be safe. Till next time...
Be quicker and probably more effective to use a magnaflux magnetic particle inspection, especially with the humidity you mentioned. For even more sensitivity, you can get particles that glow under a blacklight in a dark room.
Yes we'll be investing in the magna flux kit in the new year!
Yes, I work on truck mounted loading cranes and according to the local regulations (Finland) those have to be stripped down and thoroughly inspected every 10 years. At the same time we usually do a full overhaul, replacing any wear parts, as the crane is already stripped so it's little extra work and cost at that point. One part of the inspection is magnafluxing the high stress areas. We have a guy come over to do it, you have to be certified to do the actual inspection though we do the disassembly, overhaul and reassembly, and he uses fluorescent dye in a spray can. Shows cracks really clearly.
Looks like a great machine for you. And pretty fun to use. If you're going to be carting it around a lot maybe a dedicated trailer for it would be easier than loading it on the Ute every time. Could even put a water tank on it just for more flexibility.
I was thinking the same thing
I just figured on a dedicated truck.
Or at least a dedicated skid so a forklift can move the pair around easier.
@@davidduma7615 That sounds good too. A nice big flatbed. Weld up a weatherproof cover that still allows access.
Congratulations on the new machine, you will be using it more than you expected. It looks simple enough I could help you with the job. The birds looking for treats is hysterical. Merry Christmas to you and your wife, and Homey as well. Thanks
That setup is super impressive and wonderfully versatile! Love it!!
Congratulations on the addition of a great piece of kit, as a business owner too it amazes me that when getting quotes suppliers done get back to me and you almost have to chase them down to take your money, rather spend it with somebody who appreciates it, best wishes to you all for Christmas from Nova Scotia, Canada
Thank you Curtis and Karen for a great channel. Hope you have a wonderful Holiday and New Year. BTW, George and friends may be the apprentices you need. Picking up used cable ties and swarf. All for a few tidbits. And they never complain!!!🤣
IT is so heartening to see such dedication and real skill applied to all aspects of each job, and the way you look to improve and expand your capabilities. You both make such a great team .I wish you all the very best , Happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year.(so good to see that Homey has such a good home).
Congratulations! Enjoy the machine
Awesome and yes footage of the big cranes and the bridge lift please :) Also have a fantastic xmas and thank you for all the hard work the 3 of you put into the video's :P
What a team Watching the dexterity as you apply your skills to whatever project you have is a master class . And none of this would be possible without great filming. Cheers to the two of you. Happy healthy new year.
