Default Re: Sand blaster

For a cabinet blaster the TP cabinet is great, everyone likes them. Just be sure you get one wide enough for what you want to blast.

Buy lots of inner protectors and spend the $$$ for carbide tips. The carbide last MUCH longer then the ceramic and you get your $$ out of them.

I have a true 5 HP compressor (220v 22 amps) and it catches up to my TP cabinet.

If you are getting a pressure pot you need one with a media control valve. You want to run around 40 PSI and just start seeing sand in the stream. This will let you blast all day long and not damage sheet metal.

If you do not already use 3/8" hose quick couplers you will need to change over. The 1/4" are too small and will cause a pressure drop. A very noticeable difference.
