Do any of yall use sandblasters? Im sort of looking for one that'll do bigger projects the the harbor freight one I currently have.
I was looking at one at the eastwood company
http://www.eastwoodco.com/shopping/product/detailmain.jsp?itemID=5885&itemType=PRODUCT&iMainCat=1310&iSubCat=1311&iProductID=5885
and was wondering if anyone had any experience with that one. its about 500 bucks, so before i spend that much i'd like to know it works pretty good. :geek:
I just need something I can blast undersides of cars with, and a chassis every once in a while.

does anyone use blasters for doing floors and such?
I also found this one and don't know anything about it.

Also looks like northern tool sells the same blaster that eastwood does for a little cheaper.

Thanks for the link. Any info on it? Does it work pretty good without having to fool with it too much?

I found the same model at northern http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_6970_7960_7960
I think thats the same although the price is almost a 50 dollar difference.

If I was to get into this WITH a BUDDY, I would hunt up an N-O Allentown Gunite Machine and a 375 portable air compressor and go!!

I would operate the old N-O Allentown and let my Buddy do the nozzling!!

And if the dust got too bad, I'd hook up a Gardner/Denver boiler feed water pressure steam/air operated booster pump and use a 10,000 WOG needle valve on the waterbody at the nozzle tip to cut the dust to ZERO!!
