DIY Sandblaster Homemade Never seen before

Air Compressor for this sandblaster https://youtu.be/fiEubqbzzJk My Project!!!

I did the exact same thing a couple years ago with an old fire extinguisher just like yours. Some comments: I use an old cream separator strainer to help funnel in the sand (or crushed glass) and to filter out the chunks when reusing the media. It also keeps the sand out of the threads so the lid screws on easily. Welding on the tank is not an issue if you are a good welder using the right equipment. You need A LOT MORE AIR to make it work as it should. 5hp min with 1/2" or 3/4" line feeding it to a larger dia tip. I joined 2 of my compressors together for a combined 7hp and was happy with its cutting speed. Water was an issue, it would wet down the sand right below the sand regulating valve. Plugged up after 5 min of blasting. I changed the Tee to a "cross" so I could pull the plug out of the bottom of the cross to unplug. Now picked up a refrigerated air dryer, hope that takes care of the water, if not, I have some other ideas. Very frustrating when it plugs up but I'm happy with it, blasted a truck cab inside and out last year, 2 or 300lb of sand (kept sweeping it up and reusing) and 5 or 6 hours of labor to get it done. To be honest, I took the complete bed and front fenders up the road to a guy with a big system, $300, done the same day. So for me, maybe not worth it to do myself...

If you screen the sand with a tea strainer it will help remove the rocks, chunks, trash and other big stuff which will help stop the clogs. Also keeping the sand dry is very important .

Bloody brilliant. I have an old compressor tank that is huge and didn't know what to do with it. I do now :)

Good work!

Добрый вечер! Отличное видео! 👍👍👍 Удачи и успехов Вам!!!

Nice job. I have a 60 gallon air compressor tank I am making into an abrasive blast system. Just got my 7.5 hp compressor on line so should have enough CFM to feed it.

Bravo Peko svaka cast

Good job!

awesome job

Maravilloso trabajo! 👍🇲🇽

odlican si , steta sto ne snimas cesce. Ali ok, sve razumem ... pozz i sve najbolje :)

Very cool. You might need a slightly bigger nozzle for once you get more CFM though (probably even now need one).

Wooo he visto los vídeos que subes en tu canal de youtube y déjeme decirle que es todo un maestro 🖒😎👏 , Saludos desde PERÚ 🇵🇪lima, porfa si no fuera mucho pondría aunque sea subtítulos en español para poder entender más profundo el procedimiento de construcción.

Svaka cast.

Ja tek provalio kada sam video srps na crevu... :D bravo!!!

Just watched your compressor build and now this I am trying to start a powder coating/ blasting company but mobile . Any ways new sub here you do amazing work . Thanks for the vid I look forward to seeing more

Bravo ma super , svaka čast skidam kapu i duboki naklon time odajem poštovanje , jeftino i jako funcionalno super stroj
