Default Re: Shop equip. advise

I have a 5hp 2 STAGE compressor.This is probably minimum for a good job. You will need the 2 stage because you will be pushing a lot of air out of that nozzle.I dont think a small compressor will produce the results you want. If you are going to do any major blasting of frames or anything like that outside, MAKE SURE you get a respirator. Do not breathe any blasting dust.I use mostly plastic media now unless there is a lot of rust. Buy many extra plastic "lenses" which protect the glass. You will destroy the cabinet glass if you dont and you need a lot of them because they cloud up when you use abrasives.
