what the price of the blaster

[@f.hababorbitz]

Price as of 8-2019, Amazon or eBay $470 free shipping. Just search for "28 Gallon Abrasive Sandblaster with Vacuum". Read the amazon reviews. For the low rated reviews, I believe the issue is too small an air compressor. You need a 2 stage 5HP to blow the air needed for fast operation. Too small, and the pressure drops off in the tank, and then does not blast the paint and oxidation off the item being cleaned. Years ago, I had a 2HP compressor, single stage twin cylinder. It could not keep up with the needed air. The other option is to use a smaller nozzle orifice in the blast gun, and size this for the SCFM of your compressor. Watching this video, I see issues using it on a old truck frame. It looks like it will be OK for large flat areas.

@@f.hababorbitz I can't seem to find any reviews, just ratings of 5 stars with no other info. I didn't know it has to be used in conjunction with an air compressor and now I don't know if mine is powerful enough. Its only a 20 gallon home use and only 3.8scfm @90 psi. Thing is I didn't buy this to blast metal but for refinishing wood furniture and cabinets after seeing it being used on an account on instagram. So maybe I don't need the highest cfm for a soft material like wood anyway? Been searching around for info but not finding much.

@@bealebo22 I found one back then. You can use a smaller air compressor, just can't do continuous operation. And that may work perfect if you don't need to have full pressure continuously. What abrasive did they use in the instagram video for wood?

[@bealebo22]

@@f.hababorbitz not sure but I talked to a friend of mine yesterday that is going to find me a bigger compressor (he buys and sells all types machines, got me my bandsaw and drill press at a really good price and a few smaller machines). Friend also said of wood I could use walnut shell or glass bead if I’m using it on wood. Seems a less messy and less hazardous material to use as well. I did inquire about returning it but I’d have to eat shipping both ways and a 15% restock fee. In for a penny in for a pound I guess, it’s only money, I’ll make more. If I may ask how powerful is the compressor you ended up with?

@@bealebo22 I purchased this to remove rust from the underside of my 1957 Chevy 3600 3/4ton truck. I was able to find where the resistance weld locations were, to drill out for patch panel replacement. I did find it messy, as the vacuum does not have enough volume flow, or velocity with volume to keep sand from spraying through the brush. I was laying on my back. I have a helmet for sandblasting, and dust mask. When I finished blasting the seams around the step rocker panel underside, I got up with a sandbox on my chest. So it sorta works. The secret (to powerful rust, and paint removal) is an air-compressor that has the ability to keep up with the flow, and cycle off and on while you are blasting away. When you blast with low pressure, more sand is wasted, then when full 90PSI pressure is kept constant on the pressure jet orifice. The ceramic nozzle has a short life, I've found. I've been blasting 22.5 inch truck tire rims for my 1956 Chevy 4100 1.5Ton. I have a blast chamber that was commercial made years ago, and these just barely fit. I've been using garnet abrasive on paint and rust steel, cast iron. I don't know about wood. I do wood working as well, mainly parts making for some framing of building construction (DIY on house and shop), or now framing components for super-duty shelving. I remember in a Earl Scruggs book on learning his style of banjo playing some section on sand blasting inlay in the fret board. Some sort of tape was used, with exacto-knife cut-out of what was wanted to be blasted. Still seems this would require chisel cleanup to fit any inlay.That's way beyond my skill level of tool control. But I don't recall the blast media they would use, for that you want abrasive. For finish removal, walnut shells might work well, and have low enough inertia that the vacuum can keep most of the dust down, and enable maybe some recycling of media. You need a REAL air compressor. 5HP two stage compressor, 240VAC 30amp circuit. Then you have no limits. Vertical takes the least floor space. Big 80 gallon tank. They are not cheap even used. I did help my neighbor wire up one he got from a commercial shop, 10HP 3phase. I found a VFD on eBay for

Put in 50 pounds of black diamond and running a 60 gallon compressor at 115psi. Barely cuts the paint on a car. Slow process going over the same area literally a dozen times or more to get to bare metal. Vacuum hose does OK - I'd say it's collecting 80% of the medium. Good concept, but poor engineering. Just not powerful enuf for much - even at the hobby level. Maybe someone can improve on it and make a bigger, better model. I feel like I just pissed away $500.....

[@f.hababorbitz]

Using a suction type gun has very low volume sand delivery. It needs to be a pressure tank type. I've been there with open air blasting, sand everywhere. But your experience is seen on Amazon reviews.

[@bealebo22]

I'm hoping it didn't just piss away $630 plus another $100 for blasting media. I didn't know I need to use a compressor with it and mines rather small, only 20 gallon 3.8scfm @ 90 psi. But I also didn't buy it to blast paint off metal but for refinishing wood furniture and cabinets. Would that mean I wouldn't theoretically need a more heavy duty compressor since I'm working on a much softer material?
