I've been able to derust my carrier boggie's as a whole unit, boggie wheels, cross shaft and many other large parts. I did try some track sections but found that you have to wire up each individual track link as the contact between the links wasn't that good. Its a great tool and would highly recommend it over other methods. Cheers David.
I made a sand blaster out of a 32" truck sleeper You can do things up to 6 ft long .right in the shop no dust and you don't lose the sand. I use glass beads in mine .I put it on wheels ,uses 85 lbs of air pressure and could be shared by more than one person Cost me $ 300There is an article about it in ARMY MOTORS 125 the MVPA magazine .
