I just found this video, and after 7 years from the first time it was posted, I want to say, "Thank you!" I don't have any sandblasting experience and didn't know anything about how the equipment worked, but you made so much less intimidating! You are an excellent instructor! I feel like I could try this now!
Great video. Thanks. Can you elaborate a bit about grit options? What mediums are available? You were using silicon carbide grit. How is the grit size graded? What are the reasons you use 1 grit from another? Perhaps you already have a video on this subject. I'm in a huge learning curve and TH-cam is one of my best resources. Once again, thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you, this was very informative. I could use this to drill holes in microscope slides. Does the process introduce microcracks into the glass from the strong impact of the abrasive? How resistant is the final product e.g. to wash-dry cycles, or wet-freeze?
Great video. May I ask, all I need after I get this unit is a compressor right? Also, I'm working with 110v what size compressor would you recommend since its siphon based? Thanks
Most of these require around 14CFM of air minimum so they would need a 2 stage 5HP compressor to really work. We can fit them with 5CFM nozzles to lower the compressor requirement as well.
Hello my friend! I am impressed with this camera for sandblasting, made just superb. I want to ask you to share your experience, you can throw off the scheme of this sandblast camera with the dimensions, I will be very grateful for your help! thank you friend!
Followed your set up video i bought a 3624 cyclone ...however when i started to blast I'm not getting the results i want the media may be wrong that i bought ..what would you suggest for removing rust and paint from metal parts
Boa noite! Sou Nelson Ferreira de Cascavel Paraná Brasil Gostei muito do seu equipamento Teria como nos fornecer mais informações sobre ele? Como valores,ou se a como comprar somente o projeto Obrigado.
+Nathan Etheridge Not a stupid question at all. The dust collector will contain the majority of the grit used while sandblasting, but everytime you open the blaster, dust will escape from it and go onto the floor and around the blaster. Good housekeeping should be used to clean around the blaster daily, but you should also wear a respirator to make sure none of that escaped dust is inhaled when you remove your pieces or put your pieces into the sandblaster. Great question!
Откидывающийся корпус конечно удобно но при этом камеру не поставишь к стене ... это минус. The reclining case is certainly convenient, but you can't put the camera against the wall ... this is a minus.
The dust collector will contain the majority of the abrasive, but inhaling any small particle silicon carbide can be very dangerous so it's always best to be safe. Respirators are easy to wear and will filter out any particles that somehow escape the cabinet and dust collector.

It depends on the how rough the abrasive is and how thin the glass is. You would have to test for your particular routine.

+Noah Ellison You'll probably need a rougher grit. What are you currently using in the sandblaster?

1:31 i want it to be closed when im working, making a mess otherwise
May sound a stupid question but I thought the whole point of the unit was so you didn't need a face mask as the dust would be sucked out

Why a respirator? The cabinet, it is not intended to keep the dust inside.

Great info
