I'm from Belgium and i bought a sandblast-cabine the other day and connected it on my compressor. Then started sandblasting.....and yes i didn't work at all. After approximately 1 minute it stopped blasting .....no more pressure. I had to wait for more than 2 minutes to refill the tank. It is a 50 L tank/2HP compressor,so it sucks for sandblasting. So i'm glad i watched this video,so i know what to do now.. Thank you man. great explanation and presentation. Well done.

VERY few people are aware of the importance of CFM/CBM when shopping for compressors, so thanks for illuminating that. But wait, $100?? It's October '21, and I'm seeing these for more like $500 to $700+ (most are in the $700+ range). At $100 or $200, I'd get my wallet out immediately. Still, your video reassured me that even when working on not-so-flat stuff (the hinge, and other irregular non-flat surfaces), the setup still does a *great* job of containment. So my thoughts turn to DIY... especially now that I've realized these aren't pressure-pot, but rather siphon-blast systems. What am I missing? I'm thinking some mods to a shop-vac would get me most of the way there - and high-quality stainless-drum shop vacs are turning up very cheap these days (in the USA, Costco has 'em for around $100...there's that figure again...) Vacuum inlet would need to be screened before the grit gets dropped into the bin - not terribly difficult to engineer within the drum (I'd add a bunch of rust-collecting magnets, too.) Air-filter...stock item. Siphon-tube would just be rigidly mounted to pick up from near the center/bottom of the drum - I might even drill it through the bottom. Compressed-air inlet needn't go through the vac, just direct to the nozzle's inlet. I'd still want to buy the hose/brush/nozzle assembly rather than fabricate from components...but even that seems like a few hours of creative re-assembly, starting with a bog-standard vac hose, angle brush, trigger-nozzle and a few small batches of epoxy. I see those assemblies for $70 right now on ebay, though... Don't those trigger-type siphon-blast guns go through your ceramic nozzles pretty quick? Or can they be refitted with boron-carbide type?

@@patrickgallagher8886 Yes, though limited. I modified a low-cost (Costco) DeWalt shop vac as the basis, and got into customizing hose/brush setups, using much more rugged nozzle, epoxied into a 1-7/8" shop-vac brush attachment. I haven't given up on it, but right off, the siphon-blast platformance kinda sucks, if you'll pardon the pun. It's been a while, but if I remember correctly, even with a gate-valve installed in the sand-siphon line from the vac, I couldn't adjust to a stable sand-draw-rate, so the sand would surge beyond what could be efficiently blown at the work, or starve down to nothing. Transparent hose is vital to be able to monitor sand-flow, but that also meant I couldn't entirely focus on the work, which was annoying or worse. All that said, if my testing had been on a less-challenging project (and not an excavator undercarriage) AND if it hadn't been tending to *rain heavily every few hours*, or I'd had a sheltered location to do the work, I'd probably have felt much more positive about it. I've still got plans to get back into it, but with compressor problems adding to the obstacles, it will be a while.

I just purchased one of these last week for $425 USD including shipping (and no tax). There is a bit more sand blowing around from my experience (about 10-20%). But I'm doing the work inside my garage, and it is under control. Yes a pressure blaster works much faster, but you end up with a sand box everywhere, and I would have to move the vehicle outside and it's inop at this time. Also you have to worry about peening the sheetmetal with a pressure blaster, the lower sand volume reduces this problem (still need to worry about stretching the sheet steel and warping it from sand blasting). I see this video was posted last year, and it's very good at pointing at the biggest pitfall no matter what kind of sand blasting, you need a REAL air compressor. Mine will cycle during continuous use. It needs to be a 2 stage 5HP, 17SCFM@125PSI (in this range, this requires a 25amp 240V circuit). You will know if it's too small as the pressure will drop off during blasting, and you will wait on the compressor to build pressure. If you don't, sand is wasted.

Home Depot sells them for $729 and Northern tool sells the Allsource vac blast for $649. And first of all the first piece of equipment you need to consider is an adequate air compressor.Prices here in the US are going to run you anywhere from $700-$2000 for a good air compressor that will operate the sandblasters.

If your needs are to clean smaller parts, or sheets, you can get a blasting cabinet. These are available in a number of sizes. Except for a few small models which come with a built-in compressor, you do need one of those. But they collect the abrasive. You just need to remember that the abrasive should be cleaned when reused. You don’t want paint, rust and other garbage blasted onto your part. Additionally, you still should chemically clean something after blasting for best results. Tiny particles of material can stick to the part after blasting, even if it looks clean. This is particularly important before welding and powder coating, not so much before liquid painting. Great video!

Hi Mike, and first of all you will see your U23 present pop-ing up in the next video, that was really kind of you. So thank you very much for that nice zester and inspiring note. A blasting cabinet is a great tool, I don't have one... but it would be a bit hard to get old rusty in it. You might have an issue with the pressure, 100-118 PSI is a good setting and have enough airflow around 10 cfh. You need both at the same time, so a steady flow of air at 118 PSI, that means that the airtubes must be big enough including the coupling pieces, else that would be to restrictive and you will still have the same problem. Different types of grit can alos make a difference, some are heavier then others. After all, I just provided some general info , and lots depends on what you are blasting. Txs for the comment....

Not a bad bit of kit if you're in Europe but honestly you get far quicker removal with a pressurised 10 gallon pot blaster. It's easy enough to use a large tarpaulin to make an enclosure to capture most of the blast media but there is the added time to de-dust the grit and refill the blaster. All I can say from experience is that pressurising the blasting media works much better than any siphon equipment like that used here.

Little blasters tend to be feeble and are best for soda blasting carbs etc. For serious blasing I take my metal to my local monument shop as they all have engine drive compressors and industrial blast pots. When I bought my used system I began with two used 5HP industrial (as in real 5 horse motors), a large receiver tank to complement them and coupled the lot with inch bore red hose and Chicago couplings. All those were removed from production environments. Sand blasting is like using machine tools, go industrial or pass.

I sprayed cars with a 8cfm compressor [with a decent size tank], get one coat on and wait for it to catch up. Though sand blasting uses far more air, 100 psi v about 40. I have a large sand blast cabinet now and a 20cfm compressor with a large tank. With that a $30 bag of garnet lasts a good while. Using a free style one makes a hell of a mess. IF you bund of your work area and start with a clean concrete floor you can save some garnet. Ideally sieve it back into the pot And wear very good breathing and eyes mask as the stuff goes everywhere

Many of us have learned many valuable skills not taught in school from our parents, grandparents, neighbors, friends, and from those with similar interests and needs. In my long experience as an old guy, it was usually necessary to learn on my own by trial and error. By sheer stupid luck that has not resulted in serious injuries, but it was often slow, error-filled, and costly. Videos such as this are a BONANZA of quick and effective knowledge, launching those like me who are new to abrasive blasting on the path to superior results by identifying the proper equipment, describing minimum features and specs and then demonstrating proper use.

The harbour freight sandblaster is no good, I checked one out. 1. It is basically a large 1.2KW vacuum cleaner attached to a siphon fed gun. 2. You can buy the harbour freight 2KW industrial vacuum cleaner for half the price. The problem with siphon fed is that you lose a lot of your blast pressure, which is needed to suck the sand into the gun. Ideal nozzle pressure for sandblasting is 7 bar. With a small 8 Bar compressor you wont get that if you have to suck the sand. You can purchase the Harbour Freight pressure pot sand blaster AND the 2KW industrial Vac for the same price as this. And blast at the pressure of your compressor with double the vacuum power. Also a pressure pot with a choke valve allows you to apply the full pressure of your compressor to blow out any blockages simply by turning the valve, while a siphon fed gun system needs to be disassembled and cleared.

I did use aluminim oxide , Garnet and small glas beads. Soda can't be used, unless you don't mind de-cloging it every so often.

I have fallen into a trap buying the “recuperation” unit presented in the video. Without knowing anything about sandblasting thought this is it. As presented. Suction hose gets clocked all the time no matter what abrasive I use. Completely useless. Went studying afterwards and realized a proper unit doesn’t suck the abrasive but rather pressurize the entire tank and forces it out. That’s the unit you want to get. If you want to recycle get yourself a cabinet or do it in eg big ship container. And be careful with cabinets. Cheap ones also use this useless sucking method.

Hi. Could you please explain the proper unit? You said it doesn't suck but it pressurize the entire tank. I didn't get it ! Could you please explain it better so I can understand it and may be give an example of the unit as I need to buy one for my project. Thanks a million in advance.

Even that 200l compressor won't blast well. Your maths is correct - 300l per minutes - but that 200l tank takes >1 minute to re-fill, so it falls behind, fast. You need additional storage & ideally 2 or 3 of those 200l 3hp compressors feeding the storage. The alternative is to go to a diesel tow-compressor, which is ideal - but if you don't want to go diesel tow compressor, you need 2 or 3 3hp 1phase compressors feeding about 400l of additional storage tanks. Then you can blast. That compressor does in its hoop do the CFM figures they say - they fudge the maths by using "Intake" CFM not output CFM. IRL it does about 1/4 of what they say.
@tinkerne-round4079 Жыл бұрын
CFM and nozzle are the major considerations to make a sandblaster work. Moisture is your biggest enemy. A tank where you're starting and stopping it's just a place to collect moisture and frustration. Pressure and tank size are almost meaningless it's used more as a marketing tool for junk air compressors. If the CFM is not listed then walk away from that compressor. Pressure is created through restriction. Velocity is more important. So size your tip where you get the velocity you need while the compressor either cycles nor runs out of capacity.

There is only one way to go with a car restoration as far as I'm concerned. Blast the rusty areas, and after repair, spray it with epoxy surfacer. My days of wire suicide wheels on angle grinders are a thing of the past. It does not tackle the rust completely, so it just comes back.

Like the video, one thing I’d like to mention that for different materials require not just a different size of the medium particles but the different types of medium, softer metals has softer medium, people finds it hard to understand cleaning delicate pieces of copper, aluminium and brass etc would use crushed walnut shells crushed, the bag of garnets you presented are more aggressive , typically used for severe rust removal and paint etc, you can play around on the different mediums to use, in my workshop I use glass beads for cleaning copper pieces and soft solder, the beads under pressure can and do take the solder away! So test an area first and be safe. Love the videos. Do you treat the severely rusted areas after blasting (after the degreasing treatment), use a etching primer that neutralise the steel? This adds to the chance of rust never returning. Just a thought that’s all. ....Phil

I have exactly that problem, I’m building a new chassis for my restoration and using some of the old bracketry and furniture off the old and really struggling in some of the less accessible locations to get clean enough metal for decent welding. That’s the only drawback I see to the vacuum type gun, it’s very bulky, probably there is a time and a place for both types I guess.

If you count your own personal time (at least 50 EURO/$ an hour) and then factor in how much time and physical effort it takes (plus it is boring) to sand down a car body shell (it takes days if not weeks) then I suggest that for one project it is more than worthwhile...

Hi Steve, this is no joke be sure and you must try !!! In south Africa, I renewed a BMW 500 motorcycle, and I wanted to sand blast engine parts and transmission parts ..... And a friend told me NOOOooooo is aluminum !!! Yes so what ...? He told me I will bring you the product ! and he brought a bag 25 kg of X material ......? A real beauty and less noise ....? What is it ....?simple apricot and peach core crushed and calibrated --JUST GREAT ! NO sand inlaid in the aluminum been very good (I worked there (long ago) on Panhard military 12 H 6000 S 250 HP (must see those engines !!!!)

Thanks for this video and its title is sooo true, diving down the DIY sand blasting rabbit hole can be a ridiculously expensive waste of time, in Australia you need a compressor that's so fucking enormous it runs off 3 phase power (7.5hp) and a very large area indeed preferably enclosed unless you want your shed to look like its been hit by a sandstorm. Bottom line, just take the fucking job to a professional, it will cost you less than the garnet you'll go thru with a DIY effort.

Have 2 cylinder compressor. 500 litres and 480 litres per minute. Hope it's gonna work with non vacuum system for rust removing from car.
one way to do on cheap too tho is to daisy chain a few cheap compressors too, but be in a disposable mindset as you will destroy them :) but can work pretty well from experience as on there own they have the pressure but not the CFM but few Y adaptors and your off :) i even bought the biggest 15 AMP can buy in Australia and still ran a cheapie as well to help with load, in hindsight i would but a diesel one now tho if dont have 3 phase as CFM is limited on 15 amp but get way more CFM with a diesel for same buy price but just little higher running costs, also i found the tank size pretty irrelevant if doing a lot of blasting as the pumps are running pretty much non stop anyway to keep pressure up, if maybe doing lots of small parts and stopping every minute or so they tanks matter but i was doing chassis and body panels and with 18 CFM and 3mm tip was running non stop with 160L of tank, and just hang cheap blue tarps around to catch and recycle the Garnet, switch out the gun trigger for a cheap irrigation ball tap for ease of use (lasts good 30-40hrs) and buy a $100 Carbide tip, expensive but lasts WAAAYYY longer than the ceramic which you will chew through or get frustrated and run flogged out and work your gear harder for worse results, also buy a pack of 10-20 Tablet screen protectors and use them in your mask as a cheap throwaway visor replacement, (leave the peel off stuff on for more layers of use :)
