I do not own a Blaster nor have intentions of buying one. I am more of a stay at home mom that likes to piddle on everything. I seen a Blaster for sale on marketplace so came here to see what it is and how it is used and found your page and am so beyond fascinated by it all that I watched the entire video lol. I was raised to give praise where it is due and it is very impressive not only how much you know on the topic but that this is not ALL you do for a living! Thank you for the video I will certainly follow and check out your others to expand my learning on the ways of everything men (and women) do in garages that I never imagined

Great video Pete once again. As important as the info on the cabinet and media. A proper compressor that can handle the CFM flow of that blaster. If your blasting for 1/2 - 1 hour a to small of a compressor will continuously run and over heat. Excess heat creates more moisture which the water separator can not handle. A 5 Hp compressor may push 18-20 cfm but the blast cabinet may require 30 cfm as an example.

Very comprehensive look at all the materials available--thank you. I'm trying to discern what media to consider when cleaning automotive aluminum parts like an intake and rear-end third-member housing. Just trying to freshen up parts that have sat around for years and have that aged, oxidized look. Both are cast with machined surfaces. Sounds like I wouldn't use glass or aluminum oxide. I'm going to look into walnut and plastic first then perhaps glass bead if those aren't getting it done. Thanks again.

The toughest part about sandblasting properly, imho, as I've just started to study and learn myself, is making sure that you have a decent air compressor. Sure, you can get a Harbor Freight Cabinet for like $189 but you need at least a $500 plus air compressor that pumps 9.5 CFM, like the Kobalt 60 gallon at Lowes. If you don't have enough CFM, it takes way longer for two reasons, not enough pressure and a smaller air compressor just can't keep up depending on its duty cycle. Use FB marketplace and craigslist for good deals on compresors.
