    Man, a sandblaster is one of those tools I would have loved to have years ago. Could have used it so many times when I was fixing up older cars.

    It is such a time saver, when there isn't water in the line or debris in the mixture. Constant maintenance is a must.

    The airline from one garage to the other is above ground, on our hot sunny days that causes moisture to develop in the line filling up the filter at the sandblaster often. Everything was set up temporary with the expectation that my friend would have his building up within a year and we would move everything there. It's now 2 and a half years later and we are still working in the temporary setup, maybe it's time to make some adjustments.

    I thought about one but the sizes of the things I wanted to blast were too big. I had a 6ft diameter patio table i wanted to repaint. ended up giving it away. I wanted to sandblast and auto body shop repaint but never got around to it. i thought about taking it to the counting cars guys painter and having him do a cobra and ford gt but he wanted 4k to 5k which was more than I wanted to spend on a patio table.
    Cheers.

    Nothing here yet.

    Plus you have to have an air compressor that can keep up.

    And that heads in the direction I warn cobra kit builders about. To save 20k you're going to spend 30k on tools you'll use once. It begins with a lift
