SANDBLASTING

[Sezer]

What kind of sandblasters do you guys use ? how well do they work? and what type of media or blast do you use from start to finish ?

I have a 40lb floor blaster , 60gal compresor and a blasting 4x3x4 cabinet
I use glassbeads for powder coating and silica or aluminum oxide for ceramic coatings

but most of the time I just send the part to be blasted for $10 and I don't have to deal with it.

I use garnet for everything even for ceramic coating. The only problem I have is my compressor tank is to small, I need more volume.

Some of us also built our out blast cabinets and just use like a Craftsman Sandblasting kit.
