From AIRBRASIVE

The basic operating principle of the Airbrasive®, micro abrasive blasting, machines are quite simple: a gas-propelled stream of finely-graded abrasive particles, closely controlled by a vibrator, is driven against the work piece. Material is removed from the work by the impinging particles, virtually without shock because of the low inertia of, say 27-micron particles. For the same reason, very little heat is generated, and this is instantly dissipated in the cooling stream of the gas propellant. The gas propellant is typically compressed air.
