how about renting a gas powered compressor?? like the emglo used for framing.

running a Gas powered anything would be a bad Idea rightnow..

ITs really dry.. one spark and FIRE FIRE FIRE..

That means no rigs...gotta carry air compressors on your back and use a hamster to spin the york!! :flipoff2: :rolleyes:

Sorry, that's just an oxymoron though....

Any rig with Sanden or York should do. Generally capable of running 4-8cfm at 90 psi @ 2000rpms. how much do you need?

Second of all... what are you sand blasting with? wont' leaving all the sand blasting materialaround or trying to clean it up suck?

what kind of sand blaster?

I looked at some small cheap portable ones that needed 12 CFM at 125 psi :eek:


where is the sand blasting gonna happen? which "slabs"?

I've seen them around... harborfreight is the easiest one to search online though:

Home Depot, Lowe's, etc. sell them as well... can't say how well they work of course. Haven't used them personally.

note on teh sanden air pumps though... running at 2,000rpms for extended periods of time, like 40-60minutes can cause it to blow seals, etc. due to heat.

i have a sandblastewr...we just need a way to run it. we did it last year w/ one rig...we wanna have 2 this year.

as for location, we are blasting the red dots and etc off the granite bowl and surrounding areas.

come awn!! i know someone has a good york w/ a bumper as their air tank or sumthin!!:flipoff2:

I have a pretty good air system on my heep that I can probably pump up to about 300 psi if needed, I have a 1800 psi tank, but it would need a dryer cause I still blow some oil. So whatever, it will be up there if you need it.

Run two or more systems togeather. We do this in our club when doing heavy grinding during trail repairs. I have a simple manifold that up to three systems can be connencted, than I run the tool line from the manifold. Works great.
