Question Need help choosing a sand blaster

Hi all,

My dad asked for a sand blaster for Christmas and Santa, er, my mom, said she'd like to get him one. It will be used primarily in the restoration work of my dad's 51 F1, but it will probably see some use on my 79 and maybe more too.

What can you recommend as far as size, good brands/bad brands etc?

Thanks in advance.

Check tptools they have good stuff. See the one thay have on special, it's a big one but, if you have the space you can beat it. Also, it will depend on what size compressor you have.

Yes ,you will need a good size compressor to run a good size sandblasting unit.

You want a pressure type feed not a siphon feed.
