I may have just scored some blasting equipment from my bother-in-law. Cleaning out his mother's place, he found some glass etching/blasting equipment that he's going to pass on to me. I have no idea what it looks like, all I know is that it's old, and that he has claimed the compressor - which is fine, I can get one of those any time.
I do not know if it includes a cabinet, media, or what. But for free, I won't complain at all. I could do a lot worse for free....

My only experience blasting was on a VERy large compressor, so I can only speak about minimums from what other people have told me.
Michael Lindner recommended to me that you need a minimum of 5 CFM at 120 psi. I persoanlly plan to go higher than this.
Trever, any thing you'd be willing to share about compressors?
Thanks.

I think we're about to hit the $4,000 bill on our gear, if things work out for us to add in the vac system that I want. That's probably the most crucial information For compressors, find a good dual-stage 5+ HP 80 gallon unit, which will probably cost you between $800 and $1600 depending on brand and quality. Smaller compressors are crap for blasting. Get the best oil & moisture filter you can afford, too.Tyler wrote:
