Default Re: Sand blaster

A lot depends on what size parts you plan on blasting.
It usually takes 3 hp minimum for the average hobby shop blast cabinet.
This CAN be run from 120v but is better on 240.
The next thing is the vacuum unit. DO NOT even consider a cabinet that uses a common vacuum cleaner for evacuation.
You will be buying vacuum cleaners every 2 weeks.
Get a good vacuum unit made for blast cabinets that the motor is seperate from the bag box.
