school me on sandblasters

I'd avoid all the small Chinese sand blasters like the one at TSC.  No better than HF.

Search Craig's List and use Search Tempest.  I found a good sized used commercial sand blaster for sale in Cincinnati for $1K, new $4500.

Its probably bigger than what you're looking for.  Another approach is to build one.  They are fairly simple and there are lots of plans available on line.  Many use a 55 gallon drum which to me is about as small as You'd want to go.  Look for a drum that's held a food product rather than a petroleum product.  Around here I can find 55 gal barrels than contained mango puree and are already cleaned out.  $25 if I remember correctly and a guy in Evansville IN had them and others listed on CL.

The next question is how big is your compressor?  Sand blasters consume air like nobody's business, virtually an open hose draining the tank.

Where are you in KY??????????????????
