Here is the video I was looking for about wet soda: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-rSJHjaWoE skip to 3'15" for a display of the difference between dry/wet finish.
Such a good thread this one.

The first three are aggressive and will roughen the surfaces. Something you don't want on mating parts that need slide against one another like the gibs and ways. Even the table tops will be rough unless they are sanded or polished after.

Cheers guys! In typical Perth fashion its been over 24 hours and I've heard back from two out of six companies. I'd wager I probably won't even hear back from at least one or two of them, some business owners are useless over here.

That's pretty typical.
If I really want a quote from someone I call them direct.
A few years ago I emailed 13 Stihl agents to ask about an air filter for a 12 year old chainsaw.
Eventually - took a couple of days, 2 replied, one said they didn't have any and on said they had 3 - so I bought all 3.

Yeah I'll usually call but for things like this with dimensions and photos etc I prefer email. Got some time off tomorrow so I might just pop into a few places in the arvo and have a chat with them.

First couple of quotes are in - $350-$400 for plain old sandblasting, haven't gotten quotes for a less aggressive media yet but I'm guessing it will be pricier.
So I'm thinking I might be better off struggling along with my own methods of paint removal while I save up for my own compressor. Very unlikely this will be the last machine I restore so it makes more sense to invest in my own blasting setup that I can use on future restorations. Will just need to do a bit of research, I know it will likely be pricey due to the CFM and tank size requirements for sandblasting.
Would allow me to start blowing my paint on too, something that will be a big time saver as I start restoring larger machines. Probably spent a good 5-6 hours painting the Vicmarc at the very least, lost count after a while.

Gumtree is your friend. I picked up a decent Ingersoll Rand compressor and a large toolbox full of Chicago Pneumatic air tools for $400. Otherwise if you want to buy new, you can always parallel a couple of smaller compressors to get the capacity you need. A mate of mine ran his 2-car mechanical workshop off a couple of paralleled Supercheap compressors when his big three phase died and needed parts in from overseas.

The planer looks pretty clean. Doesn't seem like it needs blasting. Surely the bulk would come off with paint stripper. Try different stripper types. Your paint may respond better to a different stripper.

Yep I'm actually going to pop out in a minute and grab a different brand of stripper. Will give everything a really good clean to remove any grease and dirt and try again.

Having a bit more luck with the paint stripper now after cleaning up a bit better and laying it down really thick. It's nasty stuff though so I'm going to try and get away from using it soon. Going to borrow a compressor off my brother in law and try out a needle scaler on the small areas I can't reach with the angle grinder.
Got the jointer motor wired up with a new switch and went to test at my parents place, turns out my dad was mistaken and there were no 3 phase outlets wired up [emoji30]

Time for some more photos. Spent a little time this morning freeing the cutter head from the bearing blocks, those bearing pullers are coming in damn handy! Used the bearing puller for the pulley end and for the other side I gently tapped the block off the end with a piece of scrap dowel. Just made sure to tap lightly while working my way around the block. Got them all degreased and now they're sitting in some Evaporust while I work on other stuff.
