Sandblasting Setup Advice Please
Posted: Tue Feb 07, 2017 4:04 pm
I'm looking to set up a sandblasting unit in my workshop. Since this is going to cost over $1000 and I am not a commercial glass artist, I'd like to get this as right as possible in the first attempt.
I am a hobbyist making glass projects for gifts and art in the house. My workshop is a 10'x20' powered shed 50' behind my home. I have a 14" paragon clamshell kiln.
To power a proper compressor, I'm hoping that my 3500-watt gasoline-powered generator will do the trick with its 240v outlet. This means the sandblasting will not be a quick on-demand setup, but that is okay.
TP Tools has a "Hobby Pro HP-75" hood plus HEPA dust collector for $549. I think this may be what I need. Feel free to change my mind if necessary.

Then all I would need is a compressor recommendation and a Dust Deputy.
Everything I know about sandblasting, I've learned from these two pages:
