Default Re: Sand Blast Setup and Pics

Curt, that sounds like a nice set up. But doesn't your 5hp compressor get a bit overwhelmed?
I have a 5hp / 60 gallon compressor and occasionally use it with my small harbor freight blaster. It gets the job done but it takes forever because I have to stop and let the compressor catch up. If not, it runs continually, gets hot, and will slowly lose pressure.
I decided if I was going to blast anything big, I would just pay someone to do it. Actually, just today, I dropped off my chassis, axles, torque tube, and a bunch of small stuff at a local blaster. The price he gave ($110.00) hardly makes it worth while doing it myself or risking my health.
That's just my way of thinking. Other may disagree.
