In my opinion (and I have one of those blasters) this is something that
should be "farmed out" to commercial services and here's why:
Huge air requirement . . horrible uncomfortable bounce-back of media . .
. breathing
silica dust, . . . fouls the area for engine building, even leaks of
dust from a cabinet.
. . different media and equipment needed for various jobs, etc.
I recently had a pickup load of material blasted (eleven wheels and 20 items
of drive train and suspension parts. Took 30 minutes and cost $30. It
would have taken two days of miserable work to do with my little blaster and
a 3 hp compressor.
