Can anyone recommend a good portable sandblaster. I have been looking at the Ace 90 DM and the Brut 99h. Thanks for your help.

If this is a one time shot at a frame, take it somewhere and have it done. If you are going to use it for little parts, maybe a cabinet model is what you need. Do you have the larger compressor? Do you have a place to do blasting where sand won't be a problem after? I've heard people say that they wished they had got a good pressureized pot blaster instead of the little $35 models. Lots of questions and no clear answers, each person's needs are different.

I have enough air to run any type of blaster (20 cfm @ 100#s). I don't need a cabnet blaster as I have access to one. I have a cheap blaster now which proves you get what you pay for and I want to upgrade. The two units I am looking at are in the $400 price range and appear to be well constructed. Thanks for the tips on sheet metal and crickets. storm [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Lafayette, New Jersey
