Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
Alan that's a good blaster. I have a HF one. Mines a 40lb but doesn't have the water trap. The hoses on mine were crappy and need to be replaces. It's basicly the same unit as that one without the wheels. I paid $70 for mine. Make sure you use blasting sand. I used play sand and had to sift the hell out of it. Also Harbor Freight has black diamond for like $7 a 50lb bag. I use the fine grit. works good! I would also say try to find a real sprayer handle for it. You'll know what I'm talking about after you use it.

Ronnie, let Tim know he's not done with the inside of the bed.:lol: He's still got all of the corners to do.:haha:

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
I have a water trap on the wall where the air hose comes from.
Here's mine. http://belair.smugmug.com/photos/603845835_BRvwT-M.jpg |
Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
What do ya'll wear for protection. I have a clear face shield, I know the sand will destroy it,. I have welding gloves and a bodyman's HEPA mask. I wish I had a hood, but I don't.

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
Thats a hood for sandblasting sitting on it. I use welding gloves also. But what's very important is to ware a respirator like when you paint. Sand is nasty stuff. I look like a space man when I'm using it. My wife called me on the phone while I was blasting. I had to take everything off just to answer it. She pissed me off. She could have come out to the shop to ask me the question. Not phone me 90 ft away. :lol:

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
That blaster looks just like the one I bought at HF for $99 I think it's only 40lb not 80lb. Did'nt say the gal size. Mine works good. Even came with a cool little hood that lasted about 2 hours:uhmk: Used it to blast my cab. Made such a mess I haven't used it since.:lol: I'm need to get a bigger compressor.:waah: Maybe for Christmas.:metal:

Here's some info from Eastwood.

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
Those blasters work pretty good. I also use an old welding helmet with a clear lens. I would not use it inside the shop though. If you lay down a tarp outside its a good way to reclaim the sand used. I buy the fine sand from the local hardware store about $4 a 50lb bag.

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
Strodder where did you get the spray nozzel on yours? mine is just a ball valve with a tip. I used welding gloves and the hood that came with my blaster but it sucks.
|
Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
It came with it.

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
Thanks for all of the feedback fellars on the blaster. I did pick it up today.
http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...s/DSC00673.jpg I've never messed with one of these. I put some pressure on it and it works. Don't have a manual, but this looks like it's an adjustable bleed off. I didn't mess with it yet. It starts bleeding pressure at 70 psi. It is adjustable right? http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...s/DSC00674.jpg Going to look for a dead man valve. I called tractor supply and was put on eternal hold. Never found out what they had in the store. It needs a new tip. A piece of the ceramic is broken off (not visible in pic). http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...s/DSC00675.jpg Got the outside of the tailgate nearly ready for primer. This is what it looks like on the inside. Still in process of sanding. http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...d/DSC00677.jpg Also called to get a price on color and clear. I'm going to mix a little at work and spray a panel to make sure it is what he wants. |
Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
I get 125 psi from mine, and it looks like yours. Mine isn't adjustable. Why don't you call the company or look them up on the web and ask what the pressure should be? You want to be save. Maybe it's supposed to be at 70 psi.
|
Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
That looks to me like a high pressure relief valve.

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
The pressure relief is actually like a regulator. I cracked the jam nut loose and adjusted it to 100 psi. I called the manufacturer up in Grand Rapids, but never got a call back.

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
Alan you should look into getting a nozzel like Strodders. The ones that we have a cheap and clog up real easy. They do have diffrent size tips though at Harbor Freight. I know on mine I was putting 90psi and it never let air out. I think mine said between 70-125psi.

That's a hard hat in there. I might make it into a halloween mask.:lol: I got to work on Ronnies for about an hour today and I looked up at my shelf along the back wall and it was about ready to come crashing down. Just something else I gotta fix damn it!! The wife helped me get everything off of it after I put a brace under it. That would have been a real big mess. It would have fell on my truck if it came down. I'll get some pics later. I'm just glad I saw it. |
Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
Glad you caught it in time. My son just moved to a different house, and he put a lot of his garage stuff up in the garage attic. Next day he went in there and the sealing was bowed down and about to fall down. At the time he still had furniture in there that he hasn't moved into the house yet. He wedged in some 2X4's to hold it up. What a mess that would have been.

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
Alan I have some of that Black Diamond too, what numbers is your? Mine was the fine grit. Let me know how is sprays with that deadman valve. Glad you caught the self from fallon down.
