This class of blasters has come way down in price over the last few decades. I've used pro-grade pressure pots with 175 cfm gas compressors....this home hobbyist rig will take a lot longer than a pro rig, but it WILL get the job done. You should have at least 15 CFM air with this rig (3hp motor or more). You can run with smaller compressors but the workspeed will be tediously slow. This blaster comes with 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm and 3.5 mm ceramic nozzles. The 3.5 is mounted on the deadman gun right out of the box. Use FINE grits (or extra fine) with the 3.5 or you will spend more time unclogging the nozzle than actually blasting. The grit you use must be bone dry-clumpy grit is a no no. I use fine grit crushed glass from Northern Tool. The two smallest nozzles...wow, you'd need super fine grit to work with the smaller nozzles without clogging.

First, I cannot load the images I have taken. I set this up and immediately it was apparent the manual does not coordinate well with the unit. Putting the combination cart/wheels/handle on the unit was trial and error. There actually is a right/left "leg" only discovered by trial and error. Time to clean some peeling/oxidized aluminum outdoor lights from our church. Once assembled, I loaded fresh, dry, fine media. In my case it is coal slag. I got the unit up to 90psi, opened the valve and it flowed, literally blowing everywhere but not able to actually do any work of stripping/cleaning. I got online, I read the "manual" and tried to make adjustments. Thats when everything stopped working. I had a high volume of air, like a compressor but no media. I shook the can. I added media. I opened and closed the ball valve. I changed tips. Nothing worked. Lots of advice points to clogs. So, I started taking things apart. First the home and nozzle. Clean. I opened the ball valve and nothing. I opened and closed the valve, nothing. So, I figured, its threaded stuff, lets take it apart. The manual even talks about replacing parts (at sometime in the future - not the first day). Well, that's when this became a pile of metal.k The "brass" is so soft and it is "glued" with some type of "lock - tite" material that the valve and components are distorted, and now not replaceable. Guess what, this all must be metric because the big box stores don't have similar size or threading. Worse, a similar unit is at Harbor Freight but they don't carry the same fittings as on the VEVOR. I'm going to try and communicate with VEVOR and hope to get replacement parts. So far, this is a waste of money and several hours of my time.

This is a smaller blaster, perfect for the smaller jobs I needed it for. It is nice that it comes almost completely assembled. Only need to put the stand and axle/wheels on. Most times people will comment about horrible instructions with no pictures, no worries here. They give you plenty of wordy instructions and no pictures. Even the though the instructions references this pic and I hat pic, but there are no pics at all. When you put it together, the legs are labeled left and right, nice. But, who’s left and right. It is not left and right as you look at it, it is left and right from behind. Keep that in mind so you don’t have to yours apart like I did. The nipple that the hose for the gun attaches too is terribly undersized. I used and better hose clamp then the one that comes with it and had to put a huge amount of force to be able to compress the hose down onto the nipple. I don’t know if it is tight enough yet but I will try to find a better nipple that is flanged like an air hose nipple should be. The one that I’m on it is smooth, hose can just slide off. And the is a bunch of junk inside the blaster that I have not dumped out yet. Don’t know what it is yet. All that being said it does look like a nice sandblaster. Hopefully it is. Update; parts list shows a funnel, no funnel came with it. Also, the pressure gauge is in units I have never heard of. The instructions mentions PSI, but that is not what the gauge has. No idea what the increments are on the gauge it came with. So looks like I need to replace that.

Works as it should. But you need to adjust pressure, tip size, media, and media volume to match your air compressor. A bit of a learning curve but a useful tool.

do not go over the max 125 PSI Could Burst!

Sand comes out to fast. Wasted quantity of sand

Great product! Hoping it last as long as my old one!

WoW
