I need to sandblast a Lely fertilizer distributer which fits on my 3 point hitch for re-painting. I have a large volume air compressor. What brand sand blaster works best for medium jobs. Not wanting to spend much money.


Thanks,

Bill

Been there, done that!

Many home sandblaster cabinets are not well made (ie, JUNK). Cabinet blasters are all about the quality of the gun! If you must buy one ck out TP Tools. They even have a build it yourself setup.

One thing to keep in mind - commercial sand blasting outfits are cheaper than dirt! I am talkng about shops that sand blast. You will no doubt be amazed at what you'll get done for fifteen dollars! Plus their blasters are twenty times as powerful as anything you can buy.

Bill,

I guess we are on 2 separate sheets of music. I didn't even think about a cabinet.

I was talking about a cast steel tank with accessories that I can drag out in front of the shop and spray my old iron (tractors, implements) B4 painting. Even not for the money, this is a great rig for what I do. My wife uses it too...has a greenhouse and lots of yard plants and some are on wrotiron stands that rust. She's as good with it as I am.

There are no sandblast facilities near me. The last one was 30 miles away and closed several years back.

I am almost always on the wrong page!

Mine blaster is 120 miles away & I have a real nice TP Tools cabinet, but I still take some stuff to the commercial outfit. Ck the yellowpages for powder coating, etc. They all have to blast.

We should all have a blast...

10-4 buddy

I'm a mechanic, not a bodyman/painter. But I have to admit when I take the time to pretty it up, it sure seems to run better.

Harbor Freight Tools. Watch their pricing as they move prices around. I bought a complete rig (90 lb tank) for $50. It showed up again for $90 then $125 then $70. Buy some extra ceramic nozzles as about 2 tanks of sand and it is time for a new one. Additionally, use fine sand as compared to coarse and you will have fewer blockages and better performance even if you screen the sand before pouring in.

It will take a little getting used to in manipulating the valves. You play a little game with the valve on the bottom of the tank....have to open the air valve some to get air blowing under the tank then you can open the bottom of the tank and let out some sand. Your are off and running then until a blockage or you run out of sand. When stopping, shut off the bottom of the tank first then air. This keeps the lower hose from filling with sand which doesn't want to come out very easily when restarting.
