I bought a pressurized blaster from a local "Big Lots" closeout store and its the same one sold by Harbor Freight. Works very well.Much quicker than a syphon feed unit! I did the entire frame of my '64 Sports 6 with it. However, sandblasting is my least favorite restoration acvtivity as it is so messy and hot ( coveralls and hood are a must and I advise a respirator mask ). I have a 5hp compressor with 60 gallon tank. The air requirement can be modified with different size ceramic nozzles. Smaller means less air needed but slower working. My compressor works hard to keep up on long projects. I also bought a sandblast cabinet from Harbor Freight. Very nice for small stuff. You can get the cabinet for about $125 and about the same or less for the pressurized blaster. I have no interest in the company but have gotten good use out of the inexpensive tools from Harbor freight. They have a web site and once your on their list I think you'll get free catalogs for life. http://www.harborfreight.com Dan ps If you're setting up a garage/workshop, by all means get retractable air hose reels. I have 2 which allows me to reach almost all of my 30' x 36' shop. They run about $39 from you know who. |
