We had a long and roaring discussion about sand blasting and its dangers. My
question is the following.
I have a blasting cabinet that that has two openings. One in back for safety
and a second 1 1/2" exhaust opening. The exhaust opening is plumbed to a 5
gallon bucket that I use as a water filter (imagine a 5 gallon bong with 2.5
gallons of water). The air is then drawn out of the top of the bucket with a
small shop vacuum. That is my exhaust and filter setup.
I am blasting with either glass bead, ground glass or aluminum oxide. What
are the range of safety issues that I face? I am just trying to get an idea
of any potential problems. Thanks in advance.
