Does anyone use ultrasonic cleaners for their projects? If so, what brand and size would you recommend?
Thanks

Ultrasonic cleaner.
These machines are great .....but very expensive . I have combed the web to find something big enough for a block, these will run around $5,000.00-$7,000.00 This is in Canada prices are higher here. Branson is a good brand. http://www.crystalelectronics.ca/
You can submerge the item partially and clean then flip it ....repeat. Seems the vibration is sound and has a science behind it.

This one is affordable and
This one is affordable and has been working well for me.
It's big enough to accept a 64/32/xx Bing carburetor body.
Our local vintage BMW guru, Joe Groeger, has an ultrasonic tank that is just big enough to swallow a /2 engine case. It has to be the easiest way to clean out 60 years of baked on sludge, just dunk the case in for a day with the heater turned up to 200F and some cleaner. Depending on the cleaner you use, it can take some of the shine off a newly bead blasted casting, so test it out first.
