@janszkylaszlo5 жыл бұрын
How did you do it? I mean it still needs a way to remove compressed air otherwise it will blow up, but if you add a pipe for example, then the medium will go through that too along with the air. I never worked with sand blasters though, that is just my impression. Probably adding a cyclone to it would be the easiest way to capture all the medium. That is easy to build too if you have the tools to shape metal. Did you use glass for the window or something else?

Pretty good tool. Bought one a while back, different color, different tol store, and in checking reviews the common view (from the guys who actually had a clue) was to increase the size of the port between hopper and gun to 1/4"/6mm (on my model) . This allowed a better flow of media and a less likely chance of clogging.. It worked well. Yours may already have that size but it's an option if it doesn't.

The media I am using is the sodium bicarbonate, and i am using a pancake air compressor. The compressor is a craftsman 6 gal, 150 max psi, 2.6 SCFM @90 psi.
