Will the HF unit work with blasting media baking soda or just sand?
Thanks,
Creighton

Dave, I reclaim and reuse my sand one time. After that it's too fine and dusty. You don't want to breath in the silica dust.

Creighton - don't know for sure. Instructions with HF tools are pretty limited and usually poorly translated. That said, I don't know why it wouldn't work. |

Ok,
I need a sandblaster, but currently my compressor is dead too.. so What size air compressor do i need and whats the best but most affordable blaster unit??? I don't mind if I need to take some breaks and wait for the compressor to catch up, or is this bad.?? I was thinking a 30 gallon portable unit?? the bigger ones are out of my budget range I think.... I guess if I am going to be more than 500 on the whole setup, Maybe I'll just look at outsourcing?
Thoughts? suggestions..or just tell me to forget it... sure would be fun though....  '>

Signguy- I wouldn't go any less than 60 gallons AC if you plan on doing very much sandblasting. I used to have a 5hp,60 gallon but felt I needed more, I could have gotton buy but I decided on upgrading to 8hp, 80 gallon Porter cable comp. It was only a couple extra hundred bucks but well worth it. The HP unit from HF works just fine. With the air/sand flow valves you can dial it in.
Bubba- I found that play sand was too coarse. Try using 30 to 60 grit.
I use the crushed glass in my bead blaster, much safer in there. You don't want to be breathing in the glass.

Thanks Terry.. I was wondering about breathing in the glass, but I figured it must be a different type of stuff. I've played with a few different types of play sand.. the general purpose stuff, and then some of the bleached sand, and masonry sand. Where can I get the 30-60 grit sand? I'll have to look into it again...

Bubba, I usually use 30, 40 and 60 grits of sand. 30 being the coarser.
