Nimitz Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 (edited) My new XL 650 setup has started to arrive & i got the case cleaner & media separater yesterday. went to the local feed store to buy crushed corn cob but all they had was crushed corn thast they sell as bird feed. Will this work? Edited June 6, 2012 by Nimitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 No. That's just cracked corn. You need corn cob. If you don't have a local source for the 40-50 lb bags of walnut or corn cob you can go to Walmart and buy corn cob and the local pet store to get crushed walnut. It's called lizard litter. Eventually you will want to buy in bulk just like everything else pertaining to this sport. Grainger sells it as blast media or you can go to drillspot.com or to a local sandblasting supply store for walnut. I bought a 50lb bag of each two years ago and have used a little over half of it.

VinceU1 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Or you can go to the local pet store and get some Lizard Litter. That works very well also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimitz Posted June 7, 2012 Author Share Posted June 7, 2012 ok, thanks. ended up at Petsmart today to get cat food & they have both crushed walnut & crushed corn cob ... thx for the links! that was going to be my next question ... how long does corn cob last vice walnut since i would assume corn cob is cheaper?

Steve RA Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Walnut will last longer, eventually it will rub all the rough edges off and cease to work well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlamoShooter Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 long time, just put some mineral spirits on a dryer sheet and it soakes up the black dust. the dust gets me before the edges rub off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purchased corn cob from drillspot.com 40lb bag 20/40, fine, will not get stuck in flash hole. Get this, was going to order from Grainger got to the check out and seen the $20 shipping, so I back out, then read this post about drillspot.com. Went to their site placed the order, I noticed the part number matched Graingers. Got the shipment today and it was sent right from Grainger. Price was $32.90 shipped from drillspot and Grainger wanted $34.90 plus shipping, was going to be almost $60 to get it here. Drillspot.com is place to get it.

I had the exact same experience a couple weeks back when I ordered my second bag. My box still had the grainier sticker on it. Drillspot ROCKS.

Braxton1 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Based on this thread, I did the drillspot.com thing. Perfect service and I've got more corn cob than I could use in a few years.... My buddies are coming over with empty milk jugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
