Hello, everyone.
In addition to the TR3A restoration project, I have a '59 Case 30 HP tractor,
firewood trailer, snow removal equipment, and other 'outside' equipment that
are in advanced need of sandblasting and re-painting, so am finally making a
business decision to buy a sandblasting tool. Actually, I need all of it,
including the compressor. I'll be doing large projects (like the 4x8
trailer), and small ones, like TR steel wheels.
I have researched archives, and am still confused. I think the following is
suggested as advisable:
Pressure blasting is preferred over siphon. Two stage compressor, minimum 6
to 7 horsepower, somewhere between 60 and 90 gallons? To this, I add
sandblasting paraphenalia, including a gun, special nozzles, sand bucket,
anything else?
I wrote in my notes from the list, but can't find in archives anywhere,
recommendations for an Eagle brand blaster that (I can't read my notes) gives
10.5 cfm @ 90PSI? Sound anywhere close to right?
Does anyone give me a better understanding of the specifications I need, that
are better than those I cobbled together from archives? And maybe a hint
where to start shopping?
Thanks yet again, everyone.
