Sand blaster

I've had good luck with my Texas Blaster.

I currently use a skat blast cabinet in the shop and a HF pot blaster outside. Both work great. Black beauty sand works very well as long as the air is dry. I run a small dryer in-line and that makes a difference and seems to prevent any clogs.

I have a pretty big plastic cabinet I got off Craigslist. Replaced the guts with skating blast plumbing. Pretty happy with it. Still had some feeding issues so picked up one of their shakers. It's just a small motor with a lopsided weight on the shaft. Shakes the cabinet enough to feed the "sand" way better than it use to. I have overkill air drying in place as well. I'm in colorado where humidity doesnt exist, so even minimal air drying would have been fine. Skatblast has plans & parts for a nice DIY cabinet.

I use black something for heavy cutting & glass beads for finer work.
