A component of the Small Business Jobs and Credit Act of 2010, H.R. 5297, passed into law on Sept. 27, 2010, extends Section 179 expensing to machinery and equipment purchased and installed during the 2011 tax year.
The legislation is considered a big win for U.S. manufacturers, in part because it includes the extension through 2011 of the generous 2010 tax deduction for capital equipment purchases, but also because it reinforces the immediate stimulus to investment by offering bonus first-year depreciation. Before the end of the 2010 legislative session, both of these incentives for capital equipment investment were enhanced for the 2011 tax year, with the allowable Section 179 expensing increased to $500,000 for equipment purchased and placed in service before December 31, 2011, and with first-year bonus depreciation increased to 100% on equipment purchases in the tax year 2011.

Consult your financial and tax advisors to discuss details of the impact of the legislation on your justification for the purchase of a Guyson manual, automated or robotic blast system in 2011.
MAKE GUYSON YOUR BLAST MEDIA HEADQUARTERS!
Did you know that Guyson maintains large stocks of all kinds of blast media for a wide variety of blasting applications?
Guyson is widely recognized as a manufacturer of cabinet-blasting machinery, but besides an entire family of alternative media for non-destructive blast cleaning, we also have shot, grit and bead media for surface preparation, satin finishing, shot peening, deburring, stripping, deflashing, descaling and other blasting operations. Just about the only category of media we do not carry is disposable grit for outdoor blasting.
Along with our applications experience, we have steadily expanded our media offerings. Increased volume and high turnover have improved Guyson’s bargaining power with suppliers, and it enables us to offer the highest quality media, including special-purpose media, at competitive prices.
If you are considering a change of media in your Guyson machine, or if you need media for other blasting operations, whatever the application, please contact our customer service team for recommendations or a prompt quotation of price and delivery.
