Re: [FWDLK] Sandblasting - Tool suggestions wanted.



My mechanic told me to stay away from Cambell-hausfeld because they have cast-iron heads and are therefore unrebuildable. I probably have my facts twisted here.
I bought the Puma setup w/ 50 gallon tank. I think it came from TIP (see Hemmings). I know my sandblaster came from TIP.
 My compressor is single stage, runs on 220V and works well for occasional work, including some sandblasting of small parts. It sufficed for the bodyman who did SO much work on my car in my garage...all of his tools were air-powered. It ran very often,  and he often had to wait until it would catch up (50 gallons was not enough storage for his constant needs). At his shop, he has a two stage 220V  with probably 200 gallon storage tank.

Subject: [FWDLK] Sandblasting - Tool suggestions wanted.

I am interested in getting a compressor so I can start sandblasting. What sort of output should I seek? What are some do's and don'ts? What is a economical, yet efficient setup for a shade tree mechanic?
 
Thanks for any tips.
