Sand blaster help ?

Hey all, i got a sand blaster 2 years ago at bombgaars close by where i live. Name is Torin Big Red ten gallon sand blaster. i miss placed the manual for it and im in need of some new sand blaster tips but have no idea what the sizes are, i dont want to get the wrong tips. the blaster has a hose thats under the tank then goes out and has a shut off valve then a nut that keeps the sand blaster tip on. its not one of those you sqeeze the valve and has a deal that comes down in front of the nozzle.

My main question is did Torin switch there name ? or what i tried going to the website and all i get is jacks now....

Also what do you all think about the other valve nozzle ? the one that has a deal that comes down in front of the nozzle if you know what im talking about? Please help me out thanks, SHane
 
Basicly all the small blaster are the same, most are of the deadman type. problem with them is that the tip wear out easy, as does the shutoff bar.

Next better unit uses a gate valve that has a 1/4 turn action, problem with this type is they use a Stainless Steel ball and plastic or brass housing. Needless to say the soft plastic or brass gives way under use over time.

The best uses an air operated shut off valve located in toward the tank controled with foot pedal or by hand. Tip threaded to hose. Big $$$$.

Each unit goes up in price but the longer the tip/valve will last. That said the style you speak of in your last paragraph...Deadman type. It comes in a cheap sytle and a more expensive type, difference being a better grade of material used.

Hope this helps and also check out all the YouTube videos on sandblassting.
 
yeah i think i have the 1/4th turn valve one because it does have a steel ball for a shut off im thinking i need like 3/32 nozzles like that type of nozzles when i got the thing it came with like 4 or 5 nozzles and i cant remember what sizes they were... I think thats what that other one is called it kinda sounds like it the deadman type.
The main type of material i use is just regular nebraska sand hills sand might be a little bit course but it works great and i got a great supply of it east of my house bout 2 or 3 miles. i just wanted an idea on if those deadman type would be a good type to get because it seems like people around here in NEb carries something simular to the deadman tips.
 
Around here Auto Value has them in a few dia,s. I just get the smallest one as it will wear out to right size real quick. Just cone shaped ceramic.
 
Shane I get mine from eastwood.com

I don't know if this is the size you need but they have other styles available. I made my blaster and decided to use these. I bought four tips 1996 and now they need to be replaced.
