RPM Bearing Blaster: Micro Bearings?
Will it work on say bearings as small as 1.5mm ID?

It should work because the inside and outside cones that trap the bearing taper down to a point. I have succesfully used it on steering bearings from 14th scale cars but I do not remember their I.D.
Personally I dont use mine at all anymore except on bearings large enough to remove the shields. It takes me about half a can of cleaner to get one small bearing grit free, I think it forces dirt into the bearing but has a hard time getting it out. I have had better luck just brushing them off and adding a drop of grease whenever i do a teardown, they now last me much longer than when I was using the blaster.
