Sandblaster Hurt Me Bad Today...

[msgross]

I even tried a pressure blaster with a decent compressor and it couldn't keep up...

Needs to be nice and dry air as well...

I would buy a blasting cabinet but never again try a large blaster on my own...

I've found that a pot type sandblaster works best with one of the big "Ingersoll Rand" trailer type compressors.Industrial plant air compressors work well though if they are properly sized for the plant,it needs to be shut down or the air consumption of a blaster will shut it down.Other than that,you will have down time while the compressor catches up.

Thanks

I rent what I call a hiway compressor...the tow behind like used for jack hammers. All you're doing is releasing air,so you need all the supply you can get. I've known people to pair compressors,but to me it's worth renting the big boy.
