The 1.5mm Replacement Rule

Blasting nozzles are technical consumables. Once the internal liner wears just **1.5mm (1/16")** larger than its original bore size, air consumption spikes by 30%. Operating beyond this point leads to massive media waste and compressor overstrain. Audit your bore size daily.
