Buy as big as you can afford, you'll need a dust extractor, and a compressor up to the job. Soda is very dusty while glass beads are, in my opinion, the best all-round media. |

I would get the 100 pound tank one that does any media. i have a 17 & 14 cfm compressor and a huge receiver so air wont be a issue i just dont want to waste my money if they are garbage |

With the small ones if you don't have a dust extractor it just gets cloudy to quick and you can't see nothing. You spend more time waiting for the dust to settle unless your talking about the portable ones |

It looks like you mean a rather large blaster, not a cabinet type. I've always wanted to get one like that and use a shipping container or a garden shed as a blast room, but I don't have the space. The only blaster I've used like that was even bigger, and with coarse garnet could blow holes straight through sheetmetal. When I blasted my subframes I had to chase them with the gun around the compound, as they kept getting blown away! The problem with any non-cabinet type is containing the media and dust, I've blasted in my carport and tried to collect the media to re-use but I lose alot and it also gets rubbish in it, I sieve it, but it still gets dirty |

Ah yes, I've played that game before. So much easier doing things that fit in the cabinet!

I know a bloke that did sand blasting stuff with a bucket gun, in a tent on the back lawn. When done, he hosed the sand in. Yes he did wear a good respirator. |
