Default Re: Sand blaster

Had a household sized Home Depot type compressor with small blaster tank unit. Worked great with fine grit. Then we used Walnut Shell media bought in boxed bags at Harbor Freight.

Picked up a Navy surplus bigger size two cylinder compressor with larger pig tank at a local garage sale. Plugged the thing in and blew out the 15-amp inside the house fuse box circuit breaker. We need to upgrade to 20-amp breakers.
