    Question Compressor & Sand blaster tank upgrade.

    hello all,
    a couple of years ago i bought a cheap compressor and sand blaster tank, for all i used the compressor its power was not that good so it was only used as blowing the garage clean...what a waste.
    Due to this adding it to the sand blaster tank i could of done better with a pee shooter.
    So in evitable the tank went on Ebay and my pal has the compressor in his workshop for his milling machine.
    The only good thing is i still have my Caswell powder coating gun (un used) so it will now be a search for a more powerful compressor and means of shot blasting.
    Any help,links or for sale within the Uk would be appreciated for the more powerful items.
    Goes to show if you buy cheap at first inevitably you will want more relaible items,i learnt that with Workshop tools such as drill press & vertical grinder/sander.
    thanks,
    Brian
