I have one, and it gets the job done, although some of the parts are a
little flimsy, and you have to shake the tank a lot. I had a lot of trouble
with it until I tried No. 30 silica sand. This stuff flows nicely, but
unless you wear the right respirator, it is supposed to give you cancer.
40 lb is quite a good bit of sand. You'll be ready for a break when you it
is time to refill. 5 HP is the minimum adequate compressor. Your pump will
work had to keep up. Make sure to give it a rest every 20 min or so.
