Sand blasting gun.....

I realise this is cheap & nasty, but do you reckon it'd work for blasting small parts [horseshoes etc] with my small Lidl compressor? I seen to have broken my SIP one.....

I have a feeling that the one in the link above may require too much air.

Frost do one for smaller compressors with a 1.5mm air jet, I had one of these with a 2mm air jet and that was as large as I could get away with on a 2.5hp compressor.

That looks like a better option, especially in light of the small air demands. But, they want £20 for delivery to up here - I think not. Might give them a phone to see if that can be reduced in light of it being small enough for a jiffy bag.

I have one of those eBay type guns spare if you want to try it. Think it's a Clarke gun.

Thanks, could be a plan. Do you know the air requirements? The Lidl compressor I have is only the 25ltr tank job.

It's this one from Machine Mart, just the gun as the hose has been used elsewhere. What do you currently use?

I've been using this, which is quite limiting as it needs to be used vertically to 'recover' the medium. I managed to break it somehow, hence the need for a replacement. How much for yours?

 

[Wallace]

I'll stick it in the post.

Thanks, you're a true gent - I'll PM over my mailing details for you.
