Got the sand blasting unit I ordered. Am going thru the packing list and watching the instructional videos today and tomorrow. Then need to clean a spot in the garage to see if I can fit it in there.
Still have to get the air compressor, blasting cabinet, dust collector, respirator mask, etc...
Am happy with what I see so far, except a couple of the videos may need to be sent back and replaced. They seem to freeze up and it makes them difficult to watch.
Kev,,,the other day you mentioned a link for a dust collector set up using a shop vac... could you pm me that link when you get a chance please? Thanks...

I don't know whether I'm too thrilled with the "Dust Deputy". I'm not sure what exactly you expect this dust collector to accomplish, but you're not dealing with dust-bunnies under the sofa here. This is serious dangerous silicate type dust, that requires serious filtering. |

This is meant as an adjunct to your filtration system. It is supposed to "swirl out" 90% of the dust before it gets to your filtration system, thereby increasing the life of the filter and filter bag in the filtration system. I use aluminum oxide so there is no silicosis danger.
